The results of the Horizon2020 Project “Working Yet Poor”, in which issues of in-work poverty in EU countries have been examined, led to the compilation and publication of the book “Working Yet Poor: Challenges to EU Social Citizenship.”
The book delves into the EU regulatory framework to measure in-work poverty and reduce its impact on different groups of workers in the labour market. Its innovative approach links the enhancement of social rights with the full realisation of EU citizenship entitlements and values.
A notable highlight of the book is the inclusion of a generous and prestigious Preface written by Professor Olivier De Schutter, United Nations Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. His insights add a crucial layer of expertise to the comprehensive analysis presented in “Working Yet Poor.” Would insightful change lead European Union to a fair and just labor market?
