In all the new countries the number of inhabitants with incomes below 40% of the EU average is as high as 50%, and so almost half of the people in these countries have such low incomes.
În toate noile state membre, numărul de locuitori cu venituri sub 40% din media UE se ridică la 50%, deci aproape jumătate din populaţia acestor ţări are astfel de venituri reduse.
