France is facing an increase in income poverty and growing levels of inequality. Since 2017, the living conditions of the poorest five percent of households has continued to worsen, with a decrease in purchasing power, rising levels of homelessness, and a growing precarity among foreigners. Anti-exclusion organizations firmly believe that poverty can be eradicated through policies aimed at tackling the non-use of social rights, by creating a decent minimum wage and doubling the construction of “very social” housing.
