Minimum income policies in EU Member States

This document was prepared by Policy Department A for the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs to feed into its own-initiative report on "Minimum income policies as a tool to tackle poverty". It is an update of the previous two studies published in 2007 and in 2011. It provides updated facts and figures on minimum schemes across EU Member States since 2010, an overview of the evolution of poverty and social exclusion and a summary of recent debates across Europe.
