Uno su cinque bambini vive in povertà quando i costi abitativi sono stati presi in considerazione, esri trova

Glad to see the ESRI pointing this out. What a ridiculous methodology for an assessment of poverty.

“If we just ignore the paucity of available options and resulting exorbitant costs of one of the basic necessities of life, a place to live, poverty figures aren’t all that bad y’know?”

Stop rewarding rent seeking behaviour, tax land not work, we’d have an economic boom 

The ESRI are getting more biased as they go on.

Where’s the clarification that this is based on self reported data??

This is the method, and it is really not a very high yardstick as you only need to agree with two of them, again it’s self-reported..

“we use to construct a consistent measure of deprivation across the two surveys, with
individuals classified as deprived if they are lacking two of the following ten items:
• Two pairs of strong shoes;
• A warm waterproof overcoat;
• New (not second-hand) clothes;
• Replacement of worn-out furniture;
• A meal with meat, chicken, fish (or vegetarian equivalent) every second day;
• A roast joint or its equivalent once a week;
• Home heating during the last year;
• Presents for family or friends at least once a year;
• Drinks or a meal for family or friends once a month;
• A morning, afternoon or evening of entertainment once a fortnight.”
