One in five people in private households in Malta was at risk of poverty and social exclusion rate in 2019, according to an annual EU-wide survey released on Wednesday.
The European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) survey found that 20.1% of the population fell into the at-risk category last year, while 9.9% were classified as being materially or socially deprived.
Both those figures represent increases when compared to 2018, when 19% were classified as at-risk of poverty or social exclusion and 9.3% were materially or socially deprived.
At risk of poverty
The survey, published by the National Statistics Office, established the at-risk-of-poverty threshold at 60% of the national equivalised annual income, or €9,212.
