Abstract:
The paper presents several poverty and social indicators at a European and comparative level and in dynamics for 30-32 countries during 2005-2008. Our analysis is extended over a large period and for the whole portfolio of social European indicators. However, only a part of them is presented in this paper. The purpose of this article is to present and analyze the poverty and social exclusion indicators all over the world (for countries reporting these indicators to EUROSTAT), because the level of poverty should be permanently monitored in order to develop strategic documents and to globally reduce poverty and its extreme forms.
