The Report on Social Caritas / Zancan Smet Istat: the poor are rising relative to Vita.it

Zancan Cure Foundation and the Italian Caritas, has just been released in free fall. X Report on poverty and exclusion in Italy. Has a polemic, some confirmations, many proposals and a framework of action to counter. Meanwhile 48 European Caritas promote an awareness campaign called "Zero poverty, act now" (www.zeropoverty.org).


The big bluff

is not true that we are less poor, as the latest official data on poverty (July 2010) would suggest. According to ISTAT, the incidence della povertà relativa nel 2009 è stata pari al 10,8% (era 11,3% nel 2008), mentre quella della povertà assoluta risulta del 4,7%. Un dato che, secondo il Rapporto, è stato ottenuto abbassando la linea della povertà relativa (da 999,67 euro del 2008 a 983,01 euro del 2009 per due persone). Aggiornando la linea di povertà del 2008 sulla base della variazione dei prezzi tra il 2008 e il 2009, il valore di riferimento salirebbe a 1.007,67 euro. Con questo ricalcolo, circa 223mila famiglie ridiventano povere relative: sono circa 560 mila persone da sommare a quelle già considerate dall’Istat (cioè 7 milioni e 810 mila poveri) con un risultato ben più amaro rispetto ai dati ufficiali: sarebbero 8 milioni 370 000 and the poor in 2009 (+3.7%). Poverty remains a phenomenon particularly true in the South, large families (if your family has one child under the incidence of relative poverty rose from 10.8%, which is the average figure, 12.1% while if there are three or more children the incidence is 26.1%), single-parent and those who have low levels of education. More and more families in which one or more members working, they are poor.

spend less, spend more

To combat poverty effectively, the report said, one need only spend less than you currently spend Italian municipalities, in some cases even half (as in Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Lazio). In Valle d'Aosta, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, would be sufficient third of what you spend now, in Trentino-Alto Adige quarter. In the South, however, there is the opposite problem: the current expenditure of local authorities is not sufficient to eliminate relative poverty. In Calabria, for example, would require four times more resources, Campania and Puglia in the triple. The banker should be, insists the report, give impetus to work upstream, empowering, through federalism, local government officials and led to commit themselves to better manage resources.
