EAPN - European Anti-Poverty Network

The contribution of employment to the fight against poverty - This magazine brings together EAPN members experts on employment issues. The struggle to ensure that those who can access work have quality employment has always been an essential component for EAPN’s work. Currently, 22% of people living in poverty are in employment. With fiscal consolidation and boosting competitiveness at all costs remaining the EU's priorities, employment is seen only as a means for securing growth, rather than for providing people with dignified lives.
