The data in Italy corresponds exactly to that of the percentage of people working without a regular contract
Oh look, Brexit has solved all our problems including poverty – so low it’s off the chart completely!
/s (just in case)
I was told in this sub that Romania is “richer” than Hungary. Impossible! Perhaps the archives are incomplete!
Ah, Hainaut, lovely Hainaut. And Brussels.
So according to this everyone who has an income below 60% of the median wage in their country is at risk of poverty? Is that what it says?
If so, there could be a person in Switzerland being at ‘risk of poverty’ and still earning more than double than the median wage in Romania
By coloring the whole map in shades of red it looks like every single value is “bad”
However, due to the definition of poverty there, its impossible to have a value around zero or negative and thus be not in the red
poverty is defined as below 60% of the national medium disposable income, thus making it a measure of inequality, not factual poverty
Some fictive African country where everyone lives from 1 USD a day and suffers from hunger would be white. Some fictive oil state where half earn 20000 USD a month at a state job and half earn 40000 USD a month at a state job would be in the darkest shade of red
Which one would have more impoverished population?
Newspapers and NGOs often apply this trick and switch between absolute poverty and relative poverty depending on the message they want to send
Unlike what the coloring indicates, there is no Irish or German NUTS2 region with more absolute poverty than any Hungarian or Polish NUTS2 region, except maybe some Urban agglomerations (Warsaw,Budapest etc).
Internal division of Belgium is so visible that i can find out where Flanders and Wallonia are easily.
r/SPAINCYKABLYAT, I guess?
Hang on but “risk” implies you’re not already in poverty. So it doesn’t factor in people who are already dead poor correct?
Czechia emits anti-poverty force field. Thanks.
Ok, time out. Anyone looking at this map would think that Portugal must be very well off, with so little people at risk of poverty compared to Spain. But no, it’s because our median income is already so low, that even minimum wage stays at over 60% of the median.
Central European W
Note: Romania uses average salary in its reports, not median.
already there fam!
Finland will get dark orange or red thanks to our new government.
Portugal is not at risk, we are already poor 😅
Why the hell does this have the pre-2015 French regions if the data is from 2022 ?

I would pay money to see the UK statistic…
