Europe's food crisis raises prices
Food prices in the European Union increased by approximately 34% between August 2021 and August 2026, putting additional pressure on low-income households. Although the minimum wages in most EU countries grew at a faster rate than food prices, there is a clear disparity in the ability of low-income earners to afford food. 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.
