People at risk of poverty in Poland can rarely afford vacations
18:23
Almost one-third of Poles were unable to cover the expenses of a minimum one-week trip in 2022. The situation was even worse in other European Union countries.
Taking into account individuals at risk of poverty (approximately 14 percent of the population), more than half of this group (53.3 percent) couldn't afford a one-week holiday in 2022, while the EU average was 57.7 percent.
In 2022, the difference between the overall population and the population at risk of poverty in terms of the ability to provide at least a one-week vacation was visible in all EU countries. The highest percentage of people at risk of poverty who couldn't afford a one-week vacation was in Romania, where it reached 92 percent. Greece (84.2 percent) and Croatia (80.2 percent) followed next. On the other hand, the lowest percentage was recorded in Luxembourg (21.1 percent). Sweden (25.5 percent) and Denmark (26.3 percent) were also among the countries with the lowest share.
