Move of the European Commission a favor of the minimum incomefor fight poverty and social exclusion, and support employment. The European executive wants the Advise adopt a recommendation to the Member States to make i minimum income schemes, the subsidy that bridges the gap between income received and the level of income needed instead to live a dignified life. The aim is to achieve the social objectives of the EU al 2030 from reduce by 15 million people at risk of poverty and exclusion. And for states, have the 78% of the population between 20 and 64 years of age employed.

The recommendation sought by the Commission includes several areas: adequate improvement, coverage and assumption of the minimum income. Improve access to the labor market for those who can work, and access to enabling and essential services. Promote individual support, and increase the effectiveness of the ‘governance’ of social safety nets at community, national, regional and local level, as well as monitoring and reporting mechanisms. According to the indications mentioned by the Brussels executive in the EU 95.4 million people are at risk of poverty and social exclusion and 73.1% of the population aged 20 to 64 is employed (2021 data).

20% of the unemployed, at risk of poverty, are currently not entitled to receive any income support. While the inefficiency of the current minimum income schemes is attributed to the fact that between 30 and 50% of the population that could benefit from them do not receive them. Member States are recommended to achieve an adequate level of income support by the end of 2030, while safeguarding the sustainability of public finances. They should then use at least 25% of European social funds to combat social exclusion. Among the possible measures, for example, the importance of solid and transparent criteria should be noted. And the importance of clear and non-discriminatory eligibility criteria, for example, is emphasized, for example facilitating the receipt of income support per person and not per familyfor promote gender equality and economic independencein particular for the women and young adults. The Commission also underlines the importance of improving access to inclusive labor marketsactivating incentives to enter or return to the labor market.
