Goal of Poverty Reduction: The national goal is a reduction of at least 200 thousand people in poverty by 2020. This reduction should be phased in this period, due to budget constraints and consequent effort to contain that Portugal will be the subject until 2013, looking ahead to a more significant decrease from 2013.
