Abstract
The problem of poverty and social exclusion in the Baltic States generates serious social, economic and political consequences. The scope of the analysis includes primarily the scale and structure of poverty and social exclusion in the Baltic Region in the years 2004-2010 in the context of the Lisbon Strategy of the European Union. The results show that during the transition and implementation of the Lisbon Strategy, the problem of poverty and social exclusion in these republics was very similar. The Baltic States did not achieve the goals of the Lisbon Strategy in poverty and social exclusion area. In terms of scale of the analyzed problem relatively the best situation occurred in Estonia, and the worst was in Latvia. There were particularly vulnerable the same groups: households in rural areas; ethnic minorities; women, especially early school leavers; people at 65 years and over and persons less than 18; unemployed people, especially long-term unemployed; seniors 65 +; a single parent with dependent children, but females more than males and two adults with three or more dependent children and tenants.
