Posted on Istat report that reveals data on poverty in Italy. In 2015, 7.6 percent of the population lives below the given threshold.
Italy closely bitten in the crisis, years of austerity and economic recession push the Poverty Absolute million households. They are 4 million and 598mila – highest figure since 2005 – Italians living in poverty, 7.6% of the population. It is the sad drama represented by ‘ Istat in the report “ Poverty in Italy “, a study that refers to the year 2015.Il country is divided, in the noon there is a more widespread poverty, especially in some regions and in smaller municipalities, but the phenomenon is also also increased in the North.
Two, measures of poverty: absolute and relative , Istat using, “two different definitions and methodologies based on survey data on household consumption expenditure. At the territorial level is the South registered the highest values of absolute poverty (9.1% of households, 10.0% of people), and the lower ones Center (4.2% of households, 5.6% of people ). “
” in 2015 – said the Mayor – it is estimated that households in absolute poverty are equal to 1 million and 582 thousand and individuals to 4,000,000 and 598,000 (the number highest since 2005). The incidence of absolute poverty remained essentially stable at the levels 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). “
To make matters worse most, are the conditions of families with 4 members, who have two children and and an average age ranging from 45 to 54 years, instead of down the incidence of absolute poverty in those families of elderly. “The incidence of absolute poverty diminishes with increasing age of the reference person (the minimum value, at around 4%, is recorded among households with a reference person over64) and its qualification (if the person reference is graduated at least the incidence is just over one third of that observed for those who have the most of the elementary license). Absolute poverty affects marginally families with executive contact person, framework or employee (the incidence is less than 2,0%), salt to 11.7% among families of workers (9.7% in 2014 ), reaches the maximum value among those with reference person seeking employment (19.8%), while much remains below the average of the families of retired from work (3.8%). “
according to Istat, this increase is mainly due to the growth of the “state of 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 between the families of only foreign (from 23.4 to 28.3%), and in average more numerous. The incidence of absolute poverty increases to the North in terms of both families (from 4.2 to 5.0% of 2014) both of people (from 5.7 to 6.7%) especially for the widening phenomenon between the families of only foreigners (24.0 to 32.1%). signs of deterioration are also recorded among families who reside in the municipalities of metropolitan area center (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%). “
as for the relative poverty – the point estimate of the relative poverty is quantified taking into account the change in consumer prices and spending – is calculated on the basis of a predetermined minimum limit (in 2015 amounted to EUR 1,050.95) the so-called poverty line. So if the value of the expenditure is less than this family is defined as poor in relative terms.
“In 2015 – it reads the report – are estimated to be 2 million 678 thousand families in relative poverty (10.4% of the residents), for a total of 8 million 307 thousand individuals (13.7% of the population): 4,000,000 134,000 are women (13.3%), 2,000,000 and 110,000 are minors (20.2%) and 1 million 146 thousand elderly (8.6%) (Brochures 9:10). The incidence of relative poverty is substantially stable compared to 2014 in terms of households (from 10.3 to 10.4%) and grows to a slight degree in terms of people (from 12.9 to 13.7%). In the South, the wider spread of poverty is associated with the increased severity of the phenomenon; the equivalent average monthly expenditure of poor households amounted to 785.75 euro, 804.23 against euro recorded in 2014, the intensity is increased from 22.8 to 25.2%. “
For the ‘National Institute of Statistics to affect the conditions is also educated. For example, “if the level of education of the reference person is low (no title or elementary school) the incidence of poverty is highest (15.9%) and nearly three times higher than that observed among families with contact person at least graduated (5.8%). Moreover, the spread of poverty among households with reference person in the position of workers and assimilated (18.1%) is significantly higher than that observed among the families of self-employed (7.6%), especially entrepreneurs and professionals (3.3%). Larger values are nonetheless some among households with a reference person seeking
But that’s not all because the Istat also carries out a classification of families in poor and non-poor. “This is obtained – explain – through the conventional poverty line, can be further divided using additional thresholds, such as those which correspond to 80%, 90%, 110% and 120% of the standard. These thresholds allow to identify different groups of families separated by the distance of their monthly expenditure and the poverty line. In 2015 the families ‘definitely’ poor (who have equivalent levels of monthly expenditure below the standard line of more than 20%) are 5.2%, a figure that rises to 11.3% in the South. It ‘just’ poor (that has a cost lower than the line of no more than 20%) 5.2% of resident households (9.1% in the South); among these, more than half (2.9%, 4.8% in the South) presents levels of spending on consumption very close to the poverty line (lower by not more than 10%). Instead, it is ‘almost poor’ 7.2% of households (higher spending to the line by no more than 20%), while 3.2% of spending has values above the poverty line by no more than 10%, shares rise respectively 12% and 5.3% in the South. The families ‘definitely’ not poor, finally, are 82.4% of the total, with values of 90.3% in the North, 87.3% in the Centre and 67.6% in the South. “
