Regular
reports on the growing Poverty, Unemployment, Debt and Inequality of
the neo-capitalist world
EU:
“In
2013, more than a third of the population was at risk of poverty or
social exclusion in five Member States: Bulgaria (48.0%), Romania
(40.4%), Greece (35.7%), Latvia (35.1%) and Hungary (33.5%). On the
contrary, the lowest shares of persons being at risk of poverty or
social exclusion were recorded in the Czech Republic (14.6%), the
Netherlands (15.9%), Finland (16.0%) and Sweden (16.4%).”
“Among
Member States for which data are available, the at-risk-of-poverty or
social exclusion rate has increased from 2008 to 2013 in most of the
Member States ...”
“Looking
at each of the three elements contributing to being at risk of
poverty or social exclusion, 16.7% of the EU28 population in 2013
were at risk of poverty after social transfers, meaning that their
disposable income was below their national at-risk-of-poverty
threshold.”
“In the
EU28 in 2013, 9.6% of the population were severely materially
deprived, meaning that they had living conditions constrained by a
lack of resources such as not being able to afford to pay their
bills, keep their home adequately warm, or take a one week holiday
away from home.”
