In Austria, the topic of poverty is particularly explosive, since according to current reports, over 1.3 million people are affected by poverty. The measurement of the poverty risk is based on a relative scale that says that someone is considered to be at risk of poverty if their income is less than 60 % of the national median income. According to the 2023 survey, this threshold for lived alone is a monthly net equivalence income of less than 1,314 euros. Young adults aged 18 to 24 are particularly affected, which have an alarm rate of 24.6 %. Women are also stronger than men, as in the report of the bpb.de

The survey also shows that single parent and the solo living are above average threatened by poverty, while the employment status analysis reveals that a worrying share of 46.5 % of the unemployed is at risk of poverty. Even in retirement, the risk of poverty is still 18.3 %. The current figures illustrate the need for targeted measures to combat poverty in society, since particularly endangered groups, including young adults and women, need support.
