Romania tops EU chart on poverty and social exclusion risks
People in Iceland face the lowest risk of poverty and social exclusion, with just 14 and 13.5 percent for women and men respectively, followed by Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, with around 16 percent.
In 2010, there were 62 million women- a quarter of all women and 54 million men -22 percent of all men-in the EU27 who were at risk of poverty or social exclusion. This means that they were at least in one of the following three conditions: at-risk-of-poverty, severely materially deprived, or living in households with very low work intensity.
