Living in poverty despite having a job, a salary, a circumstance is increasing in Spain. The crisis in Spain has increased the rate of the "working poor," one in which the salary does not prevent the employee no longer be under the poverty line, and in just three years, from 2007 to 2010, the rate has increased from 10.8% to 12.7%. This is one of the data collected in the first report on inequality in Spain, released today by the Foundation Alternatives.
The study concludes that, as pointed out by the different European statistics, Spain is among the European countries with greater economic inequality. The latest data from Eurostat gave him the worst position in the Eurozone, according to the Gini coefficient 2011. This indicator set to zero perfect equality and 100 absolute inequality and Spain pulled out in 2011 to 34, the highest of the members of the common currency.
Luis Ayala, one of the professors who wrote the report, explained on Thursday that the poverty rate among working people is of the highest "of the European Union and this has nothing to do with the crisis, as it was well in 2007. " In fact, he added that "now many of these lowest paid jobs have disappeared, including statistics, making the situation worse."

The gap narrowed in the last great boom and increased with the recession and experts attribute this behavior countercyclical all the ravages of the housing bubble: as the salaries of construction workers are at the lowest levels, when the industry soared and increased both employment and wages, inequality declined. With the housing collapse, the effect is exactly the opposite.
In this line, the percentage of workers with a salary at or below minimum wage (SMI) has increased from 6% to 10.5% in the period 2004-2010. Inequality in Spain is explained largely by the relative weight of the so-called low-wage jobs, ie those who are less than two-thirds of the average wage of an economy: they were 21% of the total (calculated on the salary gross monthly), compared to 19% in 2007 and 18.9% in 2001.

And tax reforms and public policies-which are the major tools of a state to redistribute the wealth of a country, have not been effective, at least not enough effect. The study notes especially personal income tax cuts approved between 1998 and 2007, which meant that "even in a strong growth phase of economic activity, the collection grew over several years at a slower rate than GDP."
However, the major limitation that have redistribution policies, according to the study, involving the expenditure: "The numbers of social spending on a downward trend, with percentages of GDP before the crisis (below 20%) lower than the maximum levels of the first third of the nineties (24.4%). "
Women, youth and immigrant groups are more impoverished by the crisis because of the type of job they have, most vulnerable and lowest paid, "the most vulnerable in this crisis because they were before: young people under 25 years, contract workers temporary employees in low-skilled jobs, especially in construction, and especially immigrants, "the report said.
