Inhalt: "The 2007 Social Situation Report presents some key findings from the EU's new tool for monitoring the social situation and, in the future, social trends, namely the EU-SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Conditions). It looks at income inequality and how this is related to economic performance and at how people on low incomes are distributed across the EU as a whole. Incomes are more evenly distributed within the EU than in the US, and in the EU a high level of economic performance often goes hand in hand with greater equality. In 2004, around 100 million Europeans (22% of the total population) had less than 60% of the EU median income of around EURO 8000 per year for a single person or EURO 22 a day. In a majority of member states the largest segment of the population at risk of poverty consists of couples with one or two children where one of the partners is not working (at least throughout the year) - the 'male breadwinner' family type. Single parents, while being exposed to a high risk of poverty, represent a large share of the population at risk of poverty only in countries where this type of household is widespread."
