Cahier économique N° 123 Rapport travail et cohésion sociale 2017

Almost one in three person has encountered financial difficulties between 2013 and 2016. On the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty of 17 October, STATEC reviews the social cohesion of Luxembourg through four dimensions: income, labor, languages and health. In 2016, the average standard of living for individuals varies from EUR 984 / month for the 10% of the least well off to EUR 7 891 / month for the wealthiest 10%. In addition, 10% of the people with the lowest living standards own only 3% of the total mass of household income, compared with 24% for the 10% of the most affluent.
