"Ladies and gentlemen, according to statistics, the problem of poverty affects 16% of the European Union’s citizens. Among the principal causes of the rise in the number of poor people in the EU’s Member States are a lack of adequate education and a failure to adapt abilities to the requirements of the labour market. Poverty is also associated with an enormous psychological burden and with fear, stress and an inability to make appropriate choices. These factors mean that people affected by poverty very often have to struggle with yet another problem – that of social exclusion.
Children from poor families are deprived of the opportunities enjoyed by children from better-off families. Young people growing up in such an environment have neither the opportunities nor the right role models to enable them, in the future, to escape from this closed circle of poverty. The year 2010 has been declared European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. We have, therefore, a unique opportunity to introduce the entire international community to the problems of the poor and socially excluded and to suggest specific solutions."@en1
