Some 57% of Bulgarians expect the state to take action against the high cost of living, according to a Eurobarometer survey presented on Friday by the European Commission.
The EU average is 48%. Similar and higher shares of citizens with this expectation are observed in 13 other EU countries. In four countries, the issue of low wages comes first, in two - the state of healthcare and in one - access to housing. The survey sought answers on what Europeans are most concerned about in terms of social policy.
A total of 88% of Europeans said the social dimension of Europe was important to them personally. According to 45%, living standards are most important in this respect, followed by access to health care and good working conditions (44%), and a level playing field in the labour market (40%). According to 38%, the EU should have a say in the state of healthcare, wages (34%) and pension levels (30%).
