{jathumbnail}The 2010 European Year against Poverty will be all the more special for EAPN as it will mark the deadline the EU set itself to “make a decisive impact on the eradication of poverty” and EAPN’s 20th anniversary.
{jathumbnail}Migration is now the subject of growing political debate in many European countries. It is estimated that 2 million migrants arrive in Europe from other parts of the world each year.

How are they worked out and worked up? How can the experience of people experiencing poverty and social exclusion inform them? How do existing indicators apply to the future Member States? These are the questions that this issue sets out to address.

The European Elections offer an opportunity to debate what kind of European Union we want. EAPN, in its Election Manifesto, has put forward concrete proposals for actions.
EAPN gives its take on emerging employment policies that make not just the unemployed, but workers too, more vulnerable.
