Employment working group, FEANTSA meeting in London
This time the 2 days meeting was in London, hosted by Crisis Uk, a national charity for single homeless people, offering year-round education, employment, housing & well-being services. It is worth having some time for a visit and a contact, as Crisis is a charity doing amazingly good. To have more info, visit their website here: www.crisis.org.uk
And if you will ever pass by, support them by having a drink & an homemade meal at the phenomenal Skylight cafè, 64 Commercial Street in London E1. You cannot leave London without visiting them.
Going back to this semester analysis, following my share & raising awareness approach, here are some data from the 2014 meeting in London:

- during 2013, other 478.000 workplaces have been lost
-> poverty: 25% of Italian families face deprivation with at least 9 index of economical difficulties (meaning, between others, that they are not able to fulfill unexpected expenditures; they can not pay mortgage rate nor bills; they are not able to have a complete protein meal every two day)
- 8% of Italian (+2,3% in 2 years) families are in absolute poverty
- families in generally deprived are 12,5% (they were 6,9% in 2012)
- the risk of remaining in poverty (being poor last 2 year and the current one) is between the highest in Eu, being 13,1% in front of an average of 9,7%. The risk for mono-parental families is 33,5%, almost 3 times higher
-> migration
- data shows a decrement of 27,7% in immigration between 2007 and 2012
- the migrants who are migrating out-of-Italy are increasing of 17,9% in the same period
- the numbers of Italians migrating is also reaching its top: +36%, the highest number in last 10 years
- in the age 15-34, over 26.000 youngsters left Italy, spotting the number of almost 95.000 young Italians migrating in last 3 years (historical note: in 1988, 40.000 individuals from DDR left to the west, and 116.000 in 1989)
-> SIA (Support for Active Inclusion): the programme has a whole budget of €. 887 millions covering the 3 years period from 2014 to 2016: considering the official data of 4,8 million individuals living under the absolut-poverty line, the new “Support for Active Inclusion” programme will have an average of €. 185 per individual over the next 3 years, meaning an active support of €. 5 per month. So amazing, so active ... -> GDP
- the average taxation rate is growing till 44,6% (it was 41,3% in 2000, 42,5% in 2011), compared to Sweeden with 44,7%
- the public debt on GDT is increasing to 127%
- the primary sale (the net result before passive interests) is positive & equal to the German's one
- the 2013 GDP decreased of 1,9%
- it is interesting to deepen the correlation between youth unemployment & youth homelessness, specially on what is concerning the prevention of chronic homelessness -> how the quantity & quality of social benefits can influence the ratio between “today unemployment” & “forthcoming homelessness” -> in DK the percentage of youth homeless decreased while the % of youth unemployment increased: the difference is because of the nest assured by social benefits
- another well interesting ratio is between school-drop-outs (in IT is 17,6%) & youth homelessness
