On 6 May 2026 Brussels, the European Commission released a detailed outline of its new Anti‑Poverty Strategy, aiming to lift at least 15 million people out of poverty by 2030, compared with 2019 levels. Currently, 92.7 million Europeans—about one in five—are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The strategy focuses on three pillars: creating quality jobs, improving access to services and income support, and coordinating action across national, regional and local authorities. It includes concrete measures such as strengthening the European Child Guarantee, proposing a Council recommendation to fight housing exclusion, and launching an EU Coalition Against Poverty to mobilise private and philanthropic resources. Progress will be monitored through new indicators and a stress‑test of national welfare systems.
