Description
<p>Europe is facing unacceptable levels of poverty and inequality. Instead of putting people first, policy decision making is increasingly influenced by wealthy elites who bend the rules to their advantage, worsening poverty and economic inequality, while steadily and significantly eroding democratic institutions. Austerity measures and unfair tax systems across Europe are skewed in favour of powerful vested interests. It is time to reverse the course of poverty and inequality in Europe, putting people first. </p>
<p><span>This briefing paper reviews the current situation and presents recommendations to help put an end to poverty and extreme inequality in Europe. It draws on data from Oxfam's research paper <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/background-data-for-oxfam-briefing-a-europe-for-the-many-not-the-few-exploring-575925">Background Data for Oxfam Briefing 'A Europe For the Many, Not the Few'</a> for which the raw data can be viewed via our <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/our-work/inequality/a-europe-for-the-many?cid=rdt_euinequality">online data tool</a>.</span></p>
