281. UK: Trabalhadores na miseria

Benfiquista cartesiano Union rep.


Diz esta pesquisa e publicacao da Rowntree Foundation que afinal quem esta na miseria no Reinoi Unido e quem tem emprego e nao quem esta desempregado ou de baixa ou noutro tipo de subsidio social.

Isto so mostra que o governo populista e reaca de David Cameron tem andado a enganar a populacao com essa historia de querer ajudar as  hardworking  families para aqui e para ali. Tretas. Ele so quer ajudar os suermilionarios como ele e lixar a plebe. Foi sempre o que fez.

Costumam os aficionados dizer que ha um  leque amplo entre o sim e o nao. No governo de Davide Camarao nao ha. E  Maniqueista.  Para ele se existem duas classes. a dos  milionarios e os outros. A politica dele mostra de que lado ele esta e ele proxima nao nega: sou um tory, sou um tory, e nos dizemos: um nasty tory!

Vem agora este think tank dizer que trabalhar no Reino Unido nem sempre vale a pena. Isso e mais que sabido, sobretudo para certas pessoas, as quais decidiram absterem-se do trabalho sempre que puderem. 

So que os sucessivos governos, e este mais do que ninguem, tem andado a fechar todos os buracos que permitiam ao street wise fugirem a canga ao  escaparem pelas malhas largas da legislacao e deixarem trabalhar os incautos, desprevenidos, simplorios e os ideotas.

Mas cada vez e mais dificil devido a eles apertarem  cada vez mais as malhas  da legislacao. As maes solteiras, meias solteiras, quae casdas, ou descasadas, dificil encontrar o nome certo para dizer uma mentira, foram das primeiras a apreceberem-se das mudancas das regras do jogo. Tiveram de se adaptar e comecar a produzir filhos com menos diferena de idade entre eles.

Antigamente podiam ficar em casa com o Rendimento Minimo de Solidariedade ate as criancas atingirem 16 anos. Pensamos que agora e so ate aos cinco. E qualquer dia passa so ate ao fim da licenca de parto.

Assim, e como vitualmente terem acabado com o subsidio de baixa, acabarao por lancar no mercado de trabalho  milhoes de pessoas sem qualquer qualificacao, e sem qualquer possibilidade de arranjar nem um lugar  de varredor, porque ate para isto voce tera de estar devidamente qualificado.

Esta politica produzira um incremento insustentavel de desempregados e, por conseguinte, forcas laborais as tonoladas, onde o pratronado podera ir comprar escravos dos tempos modernos. Obviamente que o preco dessa mao baixara dramaticamente e vemos ja agora  esse resultado nesta publicacao da Rowntree Foundation.



Most people classed as being in poverty 'have job'

More working households were living in poverty in the UK last year than non-working ones - for the first time, a charity has reported.
Just over half of the 13 million people in poverty - surviving on less than 60% of the national median (middle) income - were from working families, it said.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation said low pay and part-time work had prompted an unprecedented fall in living standards.
But it said the number of pensioners in poverty was at a 30-year low.
Ministers insisted that work remained the best route out of poverty and said the government's welfare reforms would further encourage people to get a job.
'Little security'
The JRF's annual Monitoring Poverty and Social Exclusion report was written by the New Policy Institute and tracks a range of indicators, including government data and surveys covering income, education and social security.

The poverty measure it defines is based on net household income, adjusted for family size and after housing costs have been deducted.
In the 2011-12 period, the amount of earnings before a household was said to be in poverty was £128 a week for a single adult; £172 for a single parent with one child; £220 for a couple with no children, and £357 for a couple with two children.
Assessing Department for Work and Pensions figures, the report's authors found working adults without dependent children were the most likely group to be living in poverty, and that child poverty was at its lowest level for 25 years.
It said the number of people in low-paid jobs had risen, with average incomes falling by 8% since their peak in 2008.

Analysis

Get a job has long been the mantra of ministers.
And while work is the best way out poverty, it's no longer a guarantee, it seems.
That the majority of poor people should now be in a job is not wholly surprising - the number of working poor has steadily been rising for years.
In recent years the weak economy has seen an increase in part-time working and often low, stagnating wages, which has exacerbated the problem.
The proportions of poor people have also been affected by the rapidly reducing rates of pensioner poverty.
Private pensions, pension credits and the coalition government's determination to shield pensioners from the cuts that have affected most other groups have all had an effect.
The government will also be heartened by the finding that child poverty is at its lowest level for 25 years.
It also credited private pensions, pension credits and the government's determination to shield retired people from austerity measures for the fact that the number of pensioners living in poverty had fallen to its lowest level in decades.
The JRF report acknowledged that the jobs market this year appeared to be reviving, while the number of jobless young people looked to have peaked.
But it said that while the overall poverty rate in the UK expressed as a proportion of the population was 21% - the second lowest since reliable official statistics began to be collected in the mid-1990s - the figures understated the squeeze there had been on people with low incomes and those affected by benefit changes.
Julia Unwin, Chief Executive of JRF, said: "We have a labour market that lacks pay and protection, with jobs offering precious little security and paltry wages that are insufficient to make ends meet.
"While a recovery may be gathering momentum in the statistics and official forecasts, for those at the bottom, improving pay and prospects remain a mirage."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson said: "Despite claims to the contrary, work absolutely remains the best route out poverty - children in workless families are around three times more likely to be in poverty than those in working families.
"Our welfare reforms are designed to further increase work incentives and improve the lives of some of the poorest families in our communities, with the [new benefit system] Universal Credit making three million households better off."
