Abstract:

This paper addresses the poverty risk issues in the context of sustainable development of rural areas. Empirical materials included in this paper are based on EU-SILC (European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions) partial studies, and provide a reference point for comparing the EU income distribution and social integration statistics. Poverty reduction and counteracting social exclusion are among the key Millennium Development Goals. According to the studies, one in four inhabitants of the EU rural areas is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. While the highest shares of at-risk population are recorded in Bulgaria (54.8%) and Romania (50.8%), the levels reported by Poland and Lithuania are also above the EU average (by 4.5 and 9.2 percentage points, respectively). At the other end of the spectrum, the risk rate in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic is 12.8%. For the households, income is a factor underpinning their economic safety and, their confidence as a result. The amount of income affects the objective poverty levels measured with a parametric method. In the EU, people earning no more than 60% of the national median income are assumed to be at risk of poverty, which means that the risk of pover ty affects nearly every fifth rural inhabitant of the EU. Poverty and social exclusion are multi dimensional aspects which result in unsatisfied needs in multiple areas: healthcare, education, housing, culture and leisure. While triggering some kind of feedback loop, insufficient income is both the cause and the effect of deprivation of needs. Also, it provides favorable conditions for an unsustainable development of rural areas.
