Between 2011 and 2014, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU-27* increased from 116 million to 121 million, which is almost one of every four people in the EU-27. The increase has been largely attributed to the economic crisis in 2008 and the following recessions in the majority of the EU-27 Member States. Prior to the full onset of the global recession, between 2005 and 2009, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU-27 had reached its lowest level of about 114 million.
