Eurostat has published data on the level of poverty in the EU

European Statistics Agency Eurostat publishes the results of the poverty situation in the European Union countries. The citizens of those countries that literally rush into the "united Europe", Eurostat data clearly do not inspire optimism. So, in the presented statistics it is said that almost every fourth EU resident is at risk or below the poverty line. The result is 23,4%. And this is more than 117 million people. At the same time, the concept of "poverty" is estimated, of course, by European standards.

The number of people living below the poverty line in the European Union has grown by over one and a half million people since 2008.

The largest number of EU citizens living below the poverty line live in countries such as Greece, Bulgaria and Romania. In Greece - 35,6% of citizens recognized as poor by Brussels, in Romania - 38,8%, in Bulgaria, and at all 40,4%. Greece was among the leaders in terms of the growth rate of the number of poor citizens along with Cyprus, Spain and, notably, Sweden.

The three leaders in the provision of population looks like this: Czech Republic, Finland and Denmark. The appearance of the Czech Republic in the first place in terms of the income level of the population seems to have surprised the European Union officials themselves.

35,6% of citizens in Greece

and this is in Greece, where everything is!

[Logall]

Yeah, where you can’t get on the trolley!

[Uncle lee]

My friend left for Greece. Building a house. On retire !

[Logall]

To Russian or Greek?
Is the difference in the amount probably significant?

[Uncle lee]

Russian, teacher's pension. True, she sold an apartment in Khabarovsk.

[Logall]

Then it is clear! Apartments in Khabarovsk are well worth it. Is she going to receive a pension there or is she going to live on ours?

[Uncle lee]

She has our pension, who will give her Greek, she did not work there.

Just considering the prospect of moving from a city to a house in the village and driving to work. I just want to live in peace and quiet.

I can not help you. Not interested in these issues. I know that they bought fish - very expensive by our standards

Some nonsense. The richest were always Luxembourgers, then came the Danes, Swedes, Germans, Dutch, Belgians, British and French

Times are changing, so is life in the EU. It seems to me that there is nothing to be surprised. Open borders of wealth will not add. Emigrants exist at the expense of responsible taxpayers (indigenous people).

Moreover, the concept of “poverty” is estimated, naturally, by European standards.

For the Russian 30 million people who are below the poverty line, being poor by European standards would be the solution to all economic problems! And not only for them and for many others as well, especially for pensioners.

Yesterday, in the comment thread of the article “Putin is doing well, his empire is recovering”, you were very upset by the Eurostat table on the topic of this study, due to the fact that Russia is not the worst. Today, having received information from another source, you are again saddened by the fact that in a number of European countries the situation is still worse than in Russia and as a “highlight” you shake “European standards”, which, in your opinion, would be a solution to economic problems for “hungry people” "Russians. No Stas, would not. If a loaf of bread in Russia costs an average of 25-35 rubles, then in the same Germany the price of a loaf of bread weighing 0,5 kg. costs 1,34 euros. A kilo of potatoes in the Russian Federation an average of 20-25 rubles, in Germany - 1,01 euros. Translate these prices at the exchange rate and it turns out that by European standards for which you advocate, a Russian should buy a loaf of bread for 100 rubles and a kilo of potatoes for 70 rubles. If you count our consumer basket by EU standards, then our pensioners will watch you around the corner and tear you to shreds))) so that you return them to the usual Russian standard. Just don’t need about the fact that they have “hoo” pensions, unlike ours, since they have higher prices than ours. As for Russia, here is the weather correlation of the average salary and prices.

Sorry again ?? Why are you all trying to imagine me upset! Do not judge by yourself. OK? And these same "European standards", I’m not shaking, I just recognized them from the message of the respected Lganha

Most likely, taking into account unemployment, even without labor, employers are barging and no one will ask them - no one. And try, for example, in Germany to help a relative build a house and the neighbors will see it. They will surrender only this way and then you will not prove that you helped simply, not for money.

Key phrase.

[Herculesic]

Poverty for them, and poverty for our population are two really huge differences! They would honestly describe such an extreme point of poverty as poverty, if they have such, and then they would see that there is real poverty on the example of Central Asian empires (former Soviet republics) and ukroiny, which with the hands of the EU kills the remnants of the economy. I don’t shout that everything is fine with us, it’s just that we are not going to Central Asia as guest workers, and, thank God, it was not ours that we had a maidan!

[Lganhi]

Poverty in Somalia or Congo is such that the poor of these countries envy our homeless people.

[Stas157]

Quote: Lgankhi

Poverty in Somalia or Congo is such that the poor of these countries envy our homeless people.

I don’t think so! I remember a homeless person settled in our porch when it was minus 30 on the street. He was still not an old sick man, to whom no one had rendered any medical care. They don’t take them in the hospital! He was hungry and dirty, he stank of the whole porch. He tearfully requested that the inhabitants do not drive him out into the street ... It was terrible to look at all this horror! I can’t imagine how he slept on ice concrete! Then he disappeared. Maybe someone kicked him out. But in any case, in Russia, homeless people are treated without humanity. For the authorities, and for people like me and you, homeless people simply do not exist! And these are the same people. They experience great suffering and die quickly. But there is no statistics even about that. And to justify their position by the fact that they are better than the homeless in Africa, this is sacrilegious.

[Lganhi]

They themselves are to blame for being in this position. They were led to this by weakness of will, alcoholism, laziness, and irresponsibility. No matter how much you help them, they will still be so. My classmate had an uncle, he lived with his mother, how he lived, appeared once a week, laundered, slept, ate away for a couple of days and again disappeared for several days. He stole a jacket from his nephew and sold it, spent the proceeds on a drink, took a telly, a tape recorder, a VCR from his mother’s house, he also drank it all. Although his family was normal, he had many brothers, they were all decent, working people, some even very big bosses, tried to help his brother, coded him, arranged for work, but then they waved his hand at him, as it was useless.

Let's forget about them! Let them die. Did I understand you correctly?
All the same, it seems to me that Russia has the means to organize some sort of shelters, not tricky feeding, and basic medical care for those in need. In the decaying West all this is. Why do not we have? Who is more human after that?

[CentDo]

Well, allocate money from your budget, organize shelters, etc. Most of them had everything, including their own housing. Only now the bottle turned out to be closer to them than normal life. And how much you don’t invest in them, they will still spend every penny found on a hole. Our state does not have money for the normal support of young families (about pensioners who have worked all their lives, and now they barely make ends meet, I generally am silent), and you suggest that you even spend the crumbs on a group of people useless for society.

[CentDo]

I did not say anything about the disabled! No need to attribute too much! And he mentioned pensioners as those whom it was just necessary to provide. And if you choose between providing pensioners and homeless people, then I will choose the first. And you?
And excuse me, but these are your cockroaches, if you consider pensioners and invalids useless for society. I didn’t say that.

Let's kill them right away so that we don’t suffer. It will be more merciful!
I also tried to say about this, what complete indifference our people show to homeless people. As if they were not people at all, but some kind of insects.

[CentDo]

I do not point you, but suggest. If you are so worried about them, then why not help yourself? What did you do for that homeless person who spent the night at your entrance? Why was he forced to sleep on ice concrete? Could you give him an old blanket or mattress? How much money have you donated to charities that help the homeless?
Why should the state spend billions (moreover from our own taxes) on those who themselves let their lives down the toilet? We do not live in paradise, and no one is obliged to give them a second chance. Especially at the expense of other people. For some reason, you consider them victims (for some reason), and I repeat: most of them had housing, had work, they received education. Who prevented a normal life? Vodka?

[Abracadabrus]

Why are you telling me what to do?

And everything is very simple. You criticize - offer. Suggest - do it. And then you somehow worry a lot in words, but you should offer to confirm the words with deed, so immediately - "do not tell me what to do." For God's sake! But then you do not tell us how everything is bad with us. Relive it yourself. Go to a psychoanalyst in the end. In Europe it is fashionable.

I heard that in Moscow and St. Petersburg they are organizing something for the homeless. At what, I realized this is a private, not a state initiative. But these two cities are not the whole vast Russia. In other cities for the most part there is nothing!

You are not quite right. Overnight shelters are being built (we have opened in Khabarovsk), dinners are distributed. And the attitude at the household level differs little from the European one. There he will not stay at night in the entrance.

If you evaluate visually, Germany still looks richer than all. And Greece is really poor, but the Greeks are very nice to us, many in the tourist areas speak Russian, there are not so many blacks and Arabs as in Germany. And the sea is there with the sun. Therefore, better poor and funny Greeks than rich and serious Germans).

[Eurodav]

Quote: Lgankhi

Some nonsense. The richest were always Luxembourgers, then came the Danes, Swedes, Germans, Dutch, Belgians, British and French. The Czechs were never particularly rich.

Germany is one of the prime examples of a rich country with many poor people. Every 6th German is below the poverty line. In 10 years, almost half of the country will be below the poverty line. Yes, you didn’t misheard in Germany officially 18 percent of those living below the poverty line. The country is starving and unable to feed its citizens, not that there is still a stream of refugees from the Middle East.
Yes, seeing such headlines, I became interested. How can this be ... I began to understand.
To be honest, we would starve like that) And it becomes clear why refugees from Syria are fleeing there.
For example, in France and Russia the number of people living below the poverty line (these are 2014 data) ... is the same (about 13%), and in the USA it is even higher than 14.3%, and in the EU - 17%. Statistics do not deceive, simply by poverty in different countries of the world are meant absolutely different things.
Most of the poor are in countries - Latvia (26%), Romania (23%), Bulgaria (21%), Lithuania (20%). The smallest number of poor people in the Czech Republic (9%).

Poor in the European Union are those citizens whose income (including social benefits) is less than 60% of the level of salary in the country of residence. Salaries in the EU countries are different, therefore, to be considered poor in Luxembourg, you need to receive less than 18,5 thousand euros per year. In Denmark, the poverty level is 14,5 thousand, in Ireland - 13,7 thousand, Great Britain - 13,1 thousand, Sweden - 12,1 thousand, Finland - 11,8 thousand, Germany - 10,9 thousand The lowest poverty threshold was recorded in Romania (1,1 thousand) and Bulgaria (1,3 thousand).
Poverty in Europe is determined not by income, but by the availability of material wealth. Eurostat (European Statistical Agency) identifies 9 types of material goods: the ability to eat meat (poultry, fish) at least every other day, the presence of a car, washing machine, TV, phone, the possibility of at least a week's vacation spent away from your home, the ability to pay for unforeseen expenses (i.e. the availability of savings), the ability to maintain the necessary temperature in your home, etc. If at least 3 of these material goods are missing, then the family should be considered poor.
If we focus only on Germany, the rating calculated by the respected German economic institute DIW and based on the price structure of consumer goods in Germany, speaks of the poverty line of 880 euros per month and classifies the poor as 18% of the German population.

In 2015, the number of poor people in Russia grew to approximately 23 million and continues to grow. The poverty rate in Russia is 16 percent. At the same time, the cost of living in the second quarter of 2015 increased to 10 thousand 017 rubles. This is at today's rate, about 1700 Euro per year. 6 times lower than in Germany, but higher than in Bulgaria and Romania.
The average salary is 32000 rubles per month, which is 440 Euros.

And what about Ukraine? In 2015, the poverty level in Ukraine can reach up to 33%. According to the law on the state budget for 2015, the cost of living for one person per month from January 1, 2015 is set at 1176 UAH. At today's rate, it is 590 Euro per year.
The average salary is 3120 UAH. per month, this is 130 Euro.

After the WWII, the Czechs did not live quite badly, the return of the Czech corps from Russia with part of the gold reserves of RI affected. And they came to WWII with decent industry, remember their tanks, which they had been riveting for Adik for a long time ... They don’t say much about them in the EU, how can it be, the former country of the socialist camp, the Slavs live normally, well, no way ! And now, apparently, it’s not possible to hide the truth!

[Lganhi]

Well, I don’t know, in Wiki per capita income averages a little less than 18 thousand dollars, in France and Germany more than 40 thousand dollars.

[Vard]

The richest ... judging by the prices ... the country is Russia ... For example ... Claretin ... a cure for allergies ... in the same Czech Republic costs four times less than ours ...

[urganov]

Do you think it is correct to compare the same amounts in Germany and Greece? Try to compare how much free money is left in the household per capita after mandatory social payments, taxes, and housing and insurance, taking into account local prices. And then you can compare income. And do not forget to consider what we consider a priori free: forest, water, natural resources and more. Try to calculate the real consumption, not its monetary equivalent.

Someone told me that the Greeks take large loans from a bank and immediately write a statement about their financial insolvency so as not to repay this loan. Courts, of course, consider these statements positively, as a result, Greek banks are empty and cannot normally repay debts of that Germany as a borrower. But I think that this is normal, given that Germany ditched the entire industry in Greece.

[BAI]

in Bulgaria, a total of 40,4%.

But at the same time, per capita income is higher than in Russia.

In Luxembourg, the "minimum" is almost 2 thousand euros, and the most modest minimum - in Bulgaria: 235 euros. Meanwhile, in Russia the minimum wage is 7,5 thousand rubles, or 120 euros, calculated: this is almost two times less than in the poorest Bulgaria and 16 times less than in prosperous Luxembourg.

Wherein:

In Russia, the minimum wage is also growing: 8 years ago it amounted to less than 4 thousand rubles. The only paradox is that in our country the minimum wage is almost 2 thousand lower than the cost of living. In Bulgaria and Romania, the situation is different: there enough for the poor to live onat least judging by a living wage of 200 euros.

And do not say that

Like, yes, the incomes of citizens in EU countries are greater, but if you compare the standard of living, purchasing power, taxes, then many Europeans can envy the Russians.

If we were jealous, then we would have emigrants from Europe here would be full. And so only one Depardieu.

However, on the shore of the resort of Narva-Jysu, Russian businessmen are building houses, hotels, etc. My wife did "after the construction cleaning (cleaning company)" and met a pensioner from St. Petersburg.

Such statistics are always very crafty and the comments are the same: if we had this in Russia (Latvia, Romania, etc.) - all the problems would be resolved and further envy ...

and if in Russia:
20 euros per month per person for water (number of residents / registered at this address),
180-250 euros per month for maintenance of the house and the adjacent territory.
and the like (electricity for example)
this is for a one-room apartment common! up to 26-28 m2 ...
and do not flatter yourself, a one-room apartment means that the kitchen is in the same room.
if the kitchen is separate - the apartment is 2-bedroom.
and the resident will not be able to pay the “rent” - they will be turned off and evicted very quickly, without any snot, even if this is your property, and the house society will receive income from the use of your property (rent) for a certain period of time specified in the court decision, usually this period is sufficient to pay off your debts and create a reserve in case you again decide not to pay.

what I wrote above is if the apartment is in your property, and if you rent (rent) it, then this is 500/700 euros per month or more.

it can be enumerated endlessly ... and if some proportions are applied for comparison comparison, then Russia looks very good. I assure you)))

I’ve been saying about this for a long time that we don’t need to push their incomes onto ours and shout that they are richer. Yes, I can’t go to Italy twice a year, because Italy is stupid geographically farther away from me, and in the same Bavaria to go to Italy is like I’m in Nizhny from Kazan. For a number of factors, and even having decent vegetable gardens, where many have already cut back their country houses in Russia, it’s very good. It’s bad that our rulers are trying to push through bourgeois laws and make them pay almost for the air. This is extremely bad, for this I hate them, for restricting my true freedom.

When discussing statistics, one should take into account the law of exaltation of needs, which is absolute, and to distinguish between the absolute and relative impoverishment of the proletarians under capitalism. If the standard of living does not grow, then this is already a negative factor. The relative impoverishment is absolute and is due to the continuous reduction in the share of working time, during which the employee works "only for himself." In this sense, the most exploited part of the working people are the working people of the most developed countries (economies), primarily in Japan, Germany and the USA. It should also be understood that the introduction of revolutionary technologies (robotics, computer science) objectively leads to a sharp reduction in the number of jobs and lower labor costs and a steady increase in the army of surplus labor. Thus, the statistics must still be able to interpret correctly.

I agree, it is necessary to introduce a progressive income tax! Why should the oligarchs not share the income from the use of natural resources belonging to all citizens of Russia, why should the privatizers of industry and the legacy of the USSR not share with those whom they robbed? This is the root of evil! Evil in our officials receiving sky-high salaries without bringing benefit to the citizens of Russia! Sniffed the bastards!
