European minimum income and poverty indicators

Minimum income schemes are important tools to combat poverty and social exclusion, since they ensure personal security, play a significant role in redistributing wealth and guarantee more solidarity and social justice. On 28 May 2013 from 9:30 to 13:00 the EESC will organise a hearing on 'European minimum income and poverty indicators'. The idea is to reflect on a better measurement of poverty and on the challenges of adopting a European minimum income scheme. The hearing will bring together experts and people involved in advocacy work to contribute to the EESC opinion.
