The share of people unable to make ends meet - defined as not being able to afford essential goods and services which enable a decent quality of life - in Europe has fallen consistently over the past decade. This is true for both those falling below the 'at-risk-of-poverty' threhold and for those above it. People above 60 percent of median income have seen their risk fall by almost half since 2013, while those below the threshold saw their risk fall by around a third. As of 2024, around a fifth of people who are below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold could not afford essential goods and services.
