Cover Story: The purpose of the paper is to verify a hypothesis that a higher level of national digitalization provides positive trends in reducing the risks of poverty and social exclusion for the population. EU countries with higher digitalization levels have a lower percentage of the population at risk of poverty and social exclusion. However, a higher digitalization level of an EU member state does not provide an accelerated risk reduction of poverty and social exclusion. A further reduction of poverty and social exclusion level is less probable in the countries with a higher level of digitalization. View this paper.
