68% of the households in the country live on an income below the subsistence level.
In 2019 this percentage was 72, which means that the socially targeted measures during the crisis are having a certain positive effect, indicates an analysis by the Institute for Social and Trade Union Research of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria. During the third quarter of the year a 4-member household needs 1,282 euro per month, or 320.5 euro per member for a life without luxury. Two million people in Bulgaria continue to subsist on an income of below 186 euro per month, which is close to the poverty line.
