Are you actually EU? You know we are not one homogeneous state right? There are currently 27 nations, in which policy and circumstance varies between even at a regional level. There is immense poverty in some nations, notably Spain or Italy, but even Germany. I've seen it first hand, its heartbreaking.

Edit: Why downvote? debate me. Its so childish to suppress comments you do not agree with.

Thanks for sharing this chart. I am amazed how Poland has less poverty than Germany. Maybe is East Germany bringing the average down for the entire country? Even then, still very impressive.
I am from NL. i have friends in many other countries, mostly the same conditions. ofc, "lower class" if you want to say that.

I did not downvote u btw. just so u know.
