In 2024, 8.2% of people aged 18 or over who declared to be at work (either employed or self-employed) in the EU were at risk of poverty, according to data from Eurostat, cited by the BNR's Horizont channel. In Bulgaria, this share reached 11.8%. The percentage of working people at risk of poverty is higher only in Luxembourg, reaching 13.4%. The lowest rate of people who were in-work and at risk of poverty was recorded in Finland (2.8%).
The indicator ''in-work at-risk-of-poverty'' includes people who are employed or self-employed and live in households whose disposable income is below 60% of the national median income.
