In 2015 they lived in absolute poverty in Italy and 1 million 582 thousand families, amounting to 4,000,000 and 598,000, the highest number since 2005. This was communicated by Istat, noting that the incidence of absolute poverty is stable on the levels substantially estimated in the last three years for families, with no statistically significant annual variations (6.1% of resident households in 2015, 5.7% in 2014, 6.3% in 2013); grows, however, if measured in terms of people (7.6% of the resident population in 2015, 6.8% in 2014 and 7.3% in 2013).
This trend over the last year, explains the ‘ statistical Institute, is mainly due to the increase in absolute poverty among families with 4 members (from 6.7 in 2014 to 9.5%), especially couples with 2 children (from 5.9 to 8.6% ) and among the families of only foreigners (from 23.4 to 28.3%), more numerous media.
“the 2016 ISTAT data confirm the picture that we have daily before our eyes: more and more people do not have access to adequate food and do not reach a standard of living at least minimally acceptable and more and more charitable organizations are asking us more help to minimally support these people in their basic needs, “said Marco Lucchini, director general of the Food Bank Foundation .
on the rise in the North, especially for foreigners, poverty affects large families, people living in cities, and many younger next to the elderly. We speak of people and households, as defined by the same Istat, have difficulty “achieving minimally acceptable standard of living”, “do not have access to goods and services that, in the Italian context, are considered essential.”
REINCHIESTE childhood canceled by the economic crisis
Among the people involved 2 million 277 thousand are women (7.3% incidence), 1 million 131 thousand are minors (10.9%), 1 million 13 000 are aged between 18 and 34 (9.9%) and 538,000 are seniors (4.1%). Less out of ten, and then, in 2015 is located in absolute poverty (3.9% in 2005). Over the past decade the incidence of this phenomenon has remained stable among the elderly (4.5% in 2005) and continued to grow in population between 18 and 34 years of age (9.9%, more than tripled compared to 3 , 1% in 2005) and in that between 35 and 64 years (7.2% from 2.7% in 2005).
the incidence of absolute poverty increases in the North in terms of both families (from 4.2 in 2014 to 5.0%) and persons (from 5.7 to 6.7%) mainly due to the widening of the phenomenon among families of only foreigners (24.0 to 32.1% ). signs of deterioration are also recorded among families who reside in the metropolitan area (the incidence increases from 5.3 in 2014 to 7.2%) and among those with reference person aged 45 to 54 years of age (6, 0 to 7.5%).
the incidence of absolute poverty diminishes with increasing age of the reference person (the minimum value, 4.0%, among households with a reference person ultrasessantaquattrenne ) and its qualification (if it is at least graduated from the incidence is just over a third of that recorded for those who have at most a primary school certificate). We expand the incidence of absolute poverty among households with reference person employed (from 5.2 in 2014 to 6.1%), particularly if workers (from 9.7 to 11.7%). Remains low among households with a reference person leadership, framework and employed (1.9%) and retired from work (3.8%).
Also the relative poverty remained stable in 2015 in terms of families (2 million 678 thousand, or 10.4% of resident households from 10.3% in 2014) while increasing in terms of people (8 million 307 thousand, 13.7% of residents from 12.9% in 2014).
Similar to what happened to the absolute poverty in 2015 relative poverty is more widespread among large families, particularly among those with 4 components (from 14.9 in 2014 to 16.6%) or 5 or more (from 28.0 to 31.1%).
reactions “a national disgrace, which shows that in recent years has not done anything to reduce inequalities and help those most in need. We urgently need a tax reform … we ask the government to immediately extend the 80 € bonus, “said Massimiliano Dona, Secretary National Consumers Union. “Tax reform is imagining that the government will not help, because you want to reduce the central personal income tax rates. It should be cut, however, the first raised the rate or no tax area. Or, better yet, should not be touched the personal income tax , only progressive tax remained and we should worry about all those heavy taxes which affect rich and poor alike. ” And the Codacons: “Data that humiliate Italy and Italians and demonstrate the need for concrete actions to save thousands of families from the brink. The economic crisis is not over, but rather continue to rage in Italy obvious difficulties for families as well as certifying the lack of recovery in consumption, “says the president of consumer, Carlo Rienzi. “We call on the Prime Minister Renzi to launch immediately an emergency ordinance ‘anti-poverty’ ‘.
The effectiveness of the measure approved today in the House on” Poverty will be linked to the real involvement of third sector organizations in the planning and intervention management “adds Lucchini that the allocation of funds must be significant,” at least 1 billion euro, to be allocated specifically for children in absolute poverty. “
