lpv:translated text	"Poverty and social exclusion violate human dignity and fundamental human rights. The main aim of income support programmes should be to lift people out of poverty and to enable them to live a dignified life. The latest statistics are frightening. There are 1.4 billion people in the world, and around 85 million in the European Union, currently living in poverty. The European Parliament and the Member States should take further measures to create more jobs and to improve the quality of those jobs and salary levels, as well as to guarantee fair pensions, benefits and family allowances. It is vital to ensure universal access to high quality public services. One of the European Parliament’s proposals is to establish a minimum income level of at least 60% of the median income in a given Member State. In Poland, the minimum income level currently stands at around 42% of the average income. Increasing the minimum wage would help to lift adults and elderly people out of poverty and to give them the right to a dignified life, as well as providing all children with the opportunity to foster their development and obtain an education. With regard to the issue of education, it is particularly important to take effective action, first and foremost, to combat factors which contribute to children prematurely dropping out of the education system, as well as improving the level of vocational training. I think that we need to create the basis for implementing specific measures and political strategies to broaden young people’s access to education, for example, through grants or student loans and subsidies."@en1
