 Infographic by the Statistical Service

On the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, which takes place each year on October 17 throughout the world, the Statistical Service of Cyprus publishes an Infographic on “Poverty or Social Exclusion 2021”. In Cyprus, the percentage of the population that was at risk of poverty or social exclusion, meaning that population was living in households whose disposable income was below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold (€10.011 person equivalent), or was severely materially and socially deprived, or was living in households with very low work intensity, reached 17,3% in 2021 compared to 17,6% in 2020. The decrease corresponds to approximately 2.000 fewer persons at risk of poverty or social exclusion in 2021 (154 thous.), compared to 2020 (156 thous.).
