As 2015 is about to end, it is time to take stock of the economic situation that the country has experienced during the last 365 days . These last few years have been very complicated for the development of our society, both due to the economic crisis in which we are immersed and due to cuts in basic social services. We will not know the official data until next year, but during this period studies and surveys have been carried out that have shown that the situation is not improving or that it is improving slowly , and that confirm that we need immediate solutions that allow people and families at risk of exclusion to be able to enjoy a dignified life. You know which one is? Poverty in Spain 2015 Without going any further, in the first quarter of this year Spain received a notice from the European Commission : the country's poverty data is very worrying. From Brussels it was reported that more than 12 and a half million people were at risk of social exclusion in 2013, and the figures do not improve as the months go by.
The poverty gap, according to the institution, has increased considerably since 2007, before the start of the economic crisis. This analysis was published in March within the framework of the examination on the correction of macroeconomic imbalances , using the so-called AROPE indicator , which measures the evolution of poverty and social exclusion in a given Europe Mobile Number List territory. The towns in the south of the peninsula are those with the most worrying data, according to information from the study carried out by AIS Group , based on data from the INE and Habits Big Data. This research analyzes the populations of more than 50,000 inhabitants that have the highest poverty figures. The list is headed by Ceuta, with 44% and followed by Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz), with 38.5% and Lorca (Murcia) with 38.3%. We have to go north to find the opposite side of the situation map. In this sense, the figures for Vitoria are worth highlighting, with 7.3%; Getxo, with only 7.5% of the population at risk of exclusion and poverty, and Pamplona, with 8.1%. Although the GDP data is more positive than in previous years , the improvement in this situation does not translate into a reduction in risk.
Cuts in social policies, unemployment and job insecurity mean that more and more people and families are condemned to live with fewer resources. How to turn around the panorama that is shown to us? In recent years public spending has been significantly reduced , and the trend seems to be the same during 2015. For this reason, at Oxfam Intermón we demand a change in social policies from the main parties so that improvements are included in their programs. electoral and translate into a more equitable form of government. In this way, we have worked on six measures to reduce inequality that respond to the needs of various groups. We detail them below! Minimum income for families at risk of social exclusion, increased public spending, combating corruption and working on transparency, making a more equitable tax distribution or increasing the Minimum Interprofessional Wage to 1,000 euros are some of the proposals we make to large companies. and small parties and that would help combat poverty and the exclusion situation of thousands of individuals. Do you share them? If the answer is yes, we are counting on you. Because with your help, we can convey these proposals to all citizens interested in a fairer country and get the message across to governments so that they begin to be put into practice as soon as possible. Thus, the future can appear more hopeful thanks to the support of all of us who are committed to change.
