(2) The number of persons suffering from material or even severe material deprivation in the UnIn 2011, approximately 24.2% of Europe’s population (somewhere close to 119.6 million people in EU-27, of whom 25 million were children,) were considered to be at risk of poverty and/or social exclusion as defined in the Europe 2020 strategy. In countries where so- called austerity policies are being applied, the number of persons suffering from material deprivation is increasing sharply and those persons are often too excluded to benefit from the activation measures of Regulation (EU) No […CPR], and, in particular of Regulation (EU) No […ESF]. Consequently, given the present context, the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived is assuming an important role.
