Food prices in the European Union increased by approximately 34% between August 2021 and August 2026, putting additional pressure on low-income households.

The amount of food that can be purchased with the minimum wage decreased in three countries—Malta, Spain, and France—by up to 6%, 5%, and 4%, respectively. The findings indicate that higher nominal wages do not necessarily guarantee the restoration of actual purchasing power, especially as the prices of essential goods continue to rise. This directly impacts the budgets of low-income families.
