About 55% of Albanian families declare that they can afford a month's expenses "with great difficulty" or "with difficulty". This figure is much higher than the European Union average, where only 17% of Europeans feel poor. In the region, 34% of Serbs, half of Montenegrins and almost half of Macedonians feel poor.
The figures come from Eurostat, which also measures subjective poverty, to complement traditional poverty indicators, such as the risk of being poor, severe material and social deprivation, or living in a household with unemployed members.
In this respect, Albanians rank second in Europe after the Greeks, where 67% of the population there perceives themselves to be poor. However, Albania has a high gap between the level of monetary poverty of official measurements, which is around 20% in 2024, and the perception of residents who think they are poor, which exceeds 50%, with a difference of over 30 percentage points.
INSTAT reported earlier that in 2024, the risk indicator of being poor in Albania is 19%, where the income threshold for a person was 330 lek per day, or 9700 lek per month./ EuronewsAlbania
