Poverty Is Widespread In Europe

Zero Hedge: Poverty In Europe 

In 2022, 95.3 million people in the EU (22 percent of the population) were at risk of poverty or social exclusion, i.e. living in households facing at least one of the three risks of poverty and exclusion: income poverty, severe material and social deprivation and/or living in a household with very low work intensity (where adults work at less than 20 percent of their potential over one year). 

As Statista's Anna Fleck reports, according to Eurostat data, this figure has remained relatively stable compared to the previous year (95.4 million in 2021, 22 percent of the population). 

The proportion of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion varies markedly from one EU country to another.

WNU Editor: I would not be surprised if poverty in Europe will be greater for 2023.

Lie statistics Europe as well as the USA since the world is the world live in a cradle of Gold, it's been decades that Asia, Africa and South America in poverty doesn't even compare to this amateur map, because we still have the issue of Basic Sanitation, Health and Safety and that the 3 continents mentioned have been in terrible conditions for decades and even centuries to get worse...

Poverty, lack of heating, which kills more than warm weather & over taxation will lead to more large scale violent unrest.

Well lol. I don't know why you people don't understand basics with socialism. Most of the welfare system is designed to have people living at the lower end of the pay-spectrum. Single parents with time get entitled and start to depend on hand-outs from the state. They live like that for a few years and after that they can't be bothered to actually get a real job, instead relying on government projects to have the monthly paycheck coming. Then they complain when they realize that most people with a normal job earns 30x more than them and that's when they get radicalized left antifa people.

Hans--
name nations you refer to!
Finland, Norway? Sweden? inequities come about in some measure by the wealthy not paying a fair share of taaex (go see what Panama Paper etc locates for offshore banking): fact the inequities increase yearly as those making a lot increase income and those loser down lose via inflation and low wages.
You would like to blame it all on something you label socialism, but then show us nations without "socialism" where there is not this inequity.

Sweden is the best example. Poverty at 18+%
wtf dude?
It's laughable and surreal. How can a wealthy nation with our famous natural resources, produces 30% excess electricity, 800k unemployment when every company here is screaming for more workers, people won't work so they hire contractors from the east block because that's cheaper than the locals.
Yeah, so to counter our ageing people, we import crap from every corner on the planet that also don't work.

And if someone wakes up and realize what's going on they get marked as a nazi, don't even matter the reason why.

Now were joining the bigboy club without even asking it's people. The decision was made behind locked doors so we never get to know why, obviously some American lobbyist was there throwing dollars on each and everyone in there.
