Abstract: In spite of the overall wealth of the European Union (EU), poverty is still at a relatively high level. In the last years, according to Eurostat data, Bulgaria has had the highest share of persons being at risk of poverty or social exclusion before social transfers in the EU. The figures are even higher for some groups such as children and older people. However, the extent and seriousness of the problem is often not well understood either by policy makers or the general public. As a result sufficient urgency is not given to its eradication.
