By contrast, the lowest rates were recorded in Slovenia (1.8%), Croatia (2.0%) and Poland (2.3%).
The severe material and social deprivation rate (SMSD) is an EU-SILC indicator that shows an enforced lack of necessary and desirable items to lead an adequate life.
The indicator, adopted by the Indicators’ Sub-Group (ISG) of the Social Protection Committee (SPC), distinguishes between individuals who cannot afford a certain good, service or social activities.
It is defined as the proportion of the population experiencing an enforced lack of at least 7 out of 13 deprivation items (6 related to the individual and 7 related to the household).
List of items at household level:
* Capacity to face unexpected expenses
* Capacity to afford paying for one week annual holiday away from home
* Capacity to being confronted with payment arrears (on mortgage or rental payments, utility bills, hire purchase instalments or other loan payments)
* Capacity to afford a meal with meat, chicken, fish or vegetarian equivalent every second day
* Ability to keep home adequately warm
* Have access to a car/van for personal use
* Replacing worn-out furniture
List of items at individual level:
* Having internet connection
* Replacing worn-out clothes by some new ones
* Having two pairs of properly fitting shoes (including a pair of all-weather shoes)
* Spending a small amount of money each week on him/herself
* Having regular leisure activities
* Getting together with friends/family for a drink/meal at least once a month
It is another of these self-assessed surveys that measures whether people are in a mood for whining at the moment, rather than what it claims to measure.
You can easily see that by comparing the percentages of different countries you know some bits about.
For example Poland (2.3%) and Slovenia (1.8%) are fine countries, but France (6.6%) and Germany (6.2%) are still quite a bit richer.
Estonia (3.1%) should be economically very similar to Lithuania (6.1%), but it looks like the mentality is different right now.
2/3 of Hungary faces the same but our officials playing with the statistics, just think about it, the median salary in Hungary is below 1000 EUR net
