MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, IN THE EU27, WHO’S LIVING WORST OF ALL?

Summary/Abstract: As we know, poverty and wealth are relative concepts, depending on the social, political, economic, cultural benchmarks of those who evaluate these states. However, in the objectives of sustainable development and in the policies and strategic programs of the EU, there are a series of indicators that can measure, in a relatively appropriate manner, the state of poverty or wealth of the population. Thus, the article does not aim to point fingers, it does not analyse the paradox of resources - the conflict between the wealth of resources and the poverty of the population, but rather tries to investigate why some states are unable to provide sufficient social protection compared to others at the level EU27. The pandemic crisis of COVID-19 seriously hit all the economies of the world, as well as the economies of the EU27, but some recovered faster, others more difficult, the social transposition of the recovery being practically non-existent within the social parameters in certain EU countries. Thus, the article tries to investigate why and proposes a series of solutions for fixing this state of affairs.
