Working But Poor - The Middle Class in Crisis

SADRžAJ

In Europe, one third of working people are in a precarious employment situation. In spite of having a job, and sometimes even several, the end of the month is difficult, and housing, food and heating become delicate issues. These workers form a new social class called "precariat" by economists, a neologism born from the contraction of "precariousness" and "proletariat". The rise in food and energy prices has considerably increased the economic insecurity of large sections of society, which until now belonged to the middle class. While the upper third of society has become richer despite the crisis, the lower third has fallen further behind. Women, who occupy the most precarious jobs, are clearly more affected than men.
