Foundation Bertelsmann: Poverty and social exclusion for 26 million young people in Europe
Nearly 26 million children and young people, 27.9% of the EU population threatened by poverty and social exclusion, according to a survey published by the German Bertelsmann Foundation, which exaggerates that the new generation is the great lost economic crisis and the debt crisis in the EU.
Bertelsmann Foundation: Poverty and social exclusion for 26 million young EvropisMono in Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal the number of young people who are threatened by poverty and social exclusion increased by 1.2 million since 2007, reaching 7.6 million.
These young people live in households that earn less than 60% of median income, suffering from severe material shortages or grow up in homes where there is virtually no income.
Furthermore, many European citizens aged 20-24 years give unequal battle for the future, and 5.4 million (17.8%) neither working nor studying.
Only in Spain the rate of youth 20 to 24 years who do not work nor study increased from 16.6% to 24.8%, while in Italy from 21.6% to 32%.
According to the foundation Bertelsmann, the social divide in Europe is greater between north and south, but also between generations.
While inflated the percentage of young people at risk of poverty, the number of people older than 65 years decreased during the same period from 24.4% to 17.8%. The main reason for this is the fact that, despite the crisis, oisyntaxeis and social benefits for the elderly did not decrease as much as the income of the younger population.
The president of the foundation AAPT de Gkeous warned about the effects of the trend. "We can not afford neither socially nor economically a lost generation in Europe. The EU and its Member States must make special efforts to significantly improve the prospects of young people, "said the newspaper Die Zeit.
Indeed, the German newspaper notes that the research -Performance Social Justice, which iGermania, despite the lowest EU-wide unemployment rate, occupies seventh place, with Sweden remains in the lead.
