AGE Platform Europe: Growth must benefit all age and population groups, including the most vulnerable
Following the launch of the Annual Growth Survey for 2014 and at the eve of the third Annual Convention on Poverty, AGE calls on the European Commission and Member States to consider public spending as investment for growth to ensure adequate and sustainable social protection for all. Poverty figures should be broken down per age and gender groups in order to highlight the need to address the persisting poverty among older women and the very old who face much higher poverty risks than other age and population groups.
