Spain has become one of the European Union countries in the fastest growing child poverty since the economic crisis began with a rise of 45% between 2007 and 2009, according to a study from Spain Social Observatory (OSE ) and the University Pompeu Fabra has been presented this morning in Barcelona. "We have a social cost far below what belongs to us by our level of wealth," said SBI director Vincente Navarro. Accompanied by several professors who have collaborated in the writing of the impact of the crisis on families and children (Ariel), Navarro has claimed that "families and children in Spain are the most disadvantaged of the EU-15 in social policies "and called for a response from the administration in line with the" crisis of the welfare state in the country. " The NGO Save the Children has been estimated at about 2,226,000 children living in Spain below the poverty line.
The publication, a comprehensive study that analyzes various macroeconomic indicators and public spending in several European countries from 2006 to 2009, highlights the emergence of "new poverty scenarios related to malnutrition, lack of schooling and poor access to health public ". Although no current data available, Navarro has advanced to 2009 to today the situation has not improved, the main victims who were already in a vulnerable position: "In Spain, severe poverty is rising. The poor are poorer ".
The book emphasizes the small amount and efficiency of social benefits to the family. Reducing dining scholarships, for example, "is causing some children go home for lunch and often do not return to school", as indicated by the study coordinator, Monica Clua-Losada. In this sense, the book highlights the "dramatic shortfall in child protection policies" of Spain and compares them with those of countries like Germany and France, where the difference is "laughable".
"We have a social cost far below what belongs to us by our level of wealth," said Vicente Navarro
Professor of Sociology at the UPF Sebastià Sarasa has warned that the situation has worsened because social policies in Spain have not been redesigned in the early stages of the crisis and continue to benefit almost exclusively to the middle classes: "In good times this policy made sense but now we have to change and is not being done. " An example of this phenomenon is that only 14% of households receiving family and child benefits are households with incomes below the poverty line.
The Social Construction of La Caixa has served more than 200,000 children under 16 are vulnerable since 2007 in Spain. Also today, World of Children, the Red Cross has warned that "child poverty is still one of the most dramatic faces in the current crisis," said the head of Children's Programs in Social Difficulty Red Cross Carlos Chana. The organization attended, only in 2011, more than 130,000 people in action "aimed at promoting school success as a way to break the intergenerational transmission of poverty."
