- Why 119 million people in Europe live under the breadline today. How could this happen? The reality of deprived children, unemployed young adults, and indigent workers spreads all around the Union. What does Europe do for them? Visiting young unemployed people in Ireland, Italy and Portugal, this film investigates beyond the social and economic aspects and outlines how this situation impacts the politics.

In Europe you’re considered poor if you have less than 60% of the average national income to live. That’s 119 million people. Is there a European Master plan to change their lives for better - or have they simply been left behind? Do we have to accept the structural phenomenon of unemployed young people, poor children and the new working poor? What is the political prize Europe will ultimately have to pay?
Poor children, unemployed young adults and the working poor are the three groups with the highest risk of poverty. The EU tries to counter their situation with the program “Europe 2020“ - a huge offensive meant to bring 25 Million Europeans out of poverty. The film investigates if “Europe 2020“ actually works.
In the EU, 26 million children live with the threat of poverty and social exclusion. When comparing European policies, you realize that child poverty is best fought with free childcare and schools open to everyone - like in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. But in South and Eastern Europe it all looks pretty different. Even in Ireland every third child is menaced by poverty.
Even though the European economy is recovering from the recession, 20% of all young people who want to work don’t find a job. The young generations still suffers most from the current economic crisis.
Some of the main reasons for poverty are Europe’s increasingly precarious working conditions. Relentless competition, new technologies and the transformation of the service industry are some of the reasons for this development. It is not only that minimum wages are being lowered, but layoffs are made much easier, which contributes to this social decline.
We dig deeper, asking the Economic and Social Committee in Brussels, the representatives of concerned countries and the council what their strategy is. We visit poor children in Ireland, the working poor in Portugal and unemployed young people in Sicily in order to unfold the inner workings of their poverty. An investigative film that is ready to push in its search for answers.

At this moment, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize investing in alternative streams of income that are not reliant on the government, particularly with the existing worldwide economic crisis. Investing in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies can still be profitable during this period. Therefore, it is advisable to explore these investment options to secure one's financial future.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.
@@bernisejedeon5888 I agree. I have pulled in more than $435k since 2020 through my advisor. It pays off more in the long run to just pick quality stocks and ride with those stocks.
Mind if I ask you recommend this particular professional you use their service? i have quite a lot of marketing problems.
@@belobelonce35 Julia Ann Finnicum”is my adviser and she is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
@@yolanderiche7476 I just looked up Julia online and researched her accreditation. She seem very proficient, I wrote her detailing my Fin-market goals.
Lots of folks missing the main points here,, "portugal spent more on interest paymentz than on healthcare system", poverty is not accidental, it is part of a process that keeps labour costs low and hands control of government to an unelected group of technocrats and bankers.
Portugal does have a lot of Debt.
What's that got to do with unemployment? Would Portugese gov't employ millions of youth with that money if they wouldn't pay their debts?
The main point is governments and people have been irresponsible. Current social security costs and pensions aren't sustainable.
@@kekessalman you have such a naive perspective, the very same financiers that provided bailouts were the same who manipulate market forces that cause negative growth and recession and thus the need for bailouts, the same then swoop to purchase state controlled enterprise at minimal cost, just look to venuzuala to see what happens when you refuse the terms dictated, look to the UK economy after 2 decades of austerity, national grown year on year since, wages worth 20%less in real terms,, maybe you prefer the south asian model, strong economic growth, especially for the lucky 5 per cent, the rest carry on scraping by in poverty.
@@jainepal4844 That's Portugese government's irresponsibility and populism.
The financiers don't have an incentive in putting a country in recession, in fact it's the opposite. It's the people, entrepreneurs and businessman (not government) that will create jobs and growth.
Nobody gives a shit about state controlled water distribution in Venezuela or telecoms operator in Portugal etc, these are not profitable to anyone, those days were 30 years ago. There's no conspiracy, it's not the lenders' fault if governments and people live beyond their means.
Of course if your competition is prepared to scrape in poverty you'll have to do the same. Or just reject the free trade and exclude yourself from world economy, see how it goes..
@@kekessalman your a fool, whose sells the unaffordable credit, who markets unrealistic aspirations, how many people control the media, in fact how many control a huge percentage of wealth and assets, oh that all the entrepreneurs, in reality who creates the systems and conditions for employment, the government, the ones controlled by lobbyists paid by financiers etc,, For sure the supply of water, power etc, nessessary infrastructure was never suppoed to make profit, was never created to then be sold as part of asset sale to be controlled by unelected technocrats to benefit the offshore tax dodging scum aka global finance.
Italy's Careless management of EU funds actually means a lot of the monies intended for Youth were used to line personal bank accounts of Italy's bureaucrats.
And tecall the mafia being mentioned..
Corruption is rampant in these southern parts of Italy, seems to me they have not changed a bit.
No country can dig itself out of poverty - no matter how much outside money is thrown at it - unless it reigns in corruption to levels where enough trust in the functionality of the system is built to attract, maintain, and grow investors and businesses. Germany was smart to tie funds to real results. Compare how Italy used/abused their EU funds with how Ireland used it. Italy was short-sighted (and corrupt) in going for short-term gain (by diverting funds from its intended use) at the cost of long-term growth through investing in education and job growth of its youth. Culture plays a large role in a country’s development.
_Monies_ isn’t a word. Money is already a mass noun.
@@evan7743 and we're not even talking about African countries, South American countries or Asian countries.
Most countries are so poor because of the greed and corruption of their leaders.
word of advise: If you're not working--don't have children. It's not fair to the kid, the person that has to help support you and your kid.
Pretty much, and start thinking on Van life.
Very good advice.I wish your

@@joedias7946 perhaps his papa and mama were working
So you think because someone is poor he/she is not allowed to have children?
@@thomasb8658 not true I grew up poor and I have a brother and 2 sisters. It really sucked growing up, and it is a great disadvantage, but you can overcome it in a country like America. Not so much in other poorer countries. You'll end up subjecting your child to undue punishment like child labor and in many places they even make the kids take up arms.
It can't be all tech. They need to teach trades in schools. Old school tailoring, shoemaking, printmaking, decor, etc. So many countries need to bring back industry to their countries or this won't turn around. Don't wait for the government or the corporations to do it.
Well said. When I tell people about the olden days they laugh and its the same people that are starving now . All professional with business. Covid bankrupted them. Oh shame. At least I can survive with old methods. Sewing my own clothes and painting my own house and growing my own veggies. All I learnt in the good old days . God bless
Well it takes tech to run drones which will deliver stuff and AI.
So right you are RADIO HILL!
People need to understand and believe that there is an "agenda" that intends to make people poorer WORLDWIDE !!! This is to better control us. It's been happening for a long time but people believe all that they hear on mainstream media. It's more than time that they wake up,keep TV off and start doing their own indipendant research on Internet. It's all there in black and white !!!

Hello from Bulgaria. I wish to you all, to prosper, be succesfull, work what you love and be better at it each day. Fight corruption as hard as you can with each day. Crime is also a problem. Work an honest living with honest ways, be good to clients and society. This is the only way. Not only for EU , but for the world, to be peacefull and decent for living in it. Be healthy and strong!
Corruption is the cause and crime is the result. Think about things before you write them. Everything is clear.
@@os2841 English is my 4th language, sorry. I hope you understood what I mean.
The US idea of giving everyone of voting age 100 dollars (160nB Bulgarian lev) to be spent on the political candidate of their choice is a good idea as it would stop or reduce corporate interests influencing politics. Bulgaria has a proportional representation voting system which is the best voting system to produce a strong democracy, but Bulgaria would still benefit from democracy vouchers as America, Canada, India, and the UK would benefit from switching to the Bulgarian voting system.
A true and simple message that many wont accept as the answer. They want an easy fix, quick money with minimal work.
I agree
When the definition of poverty is simply a mathematical formula that includes a certain percentage of people, there will always be poor people. How about defining by standard of living?
Or just aim to keep inequality in check so everyone benefits... including those less fortunate, who may have been born with low iq or other disabilities
Ignorance is the greatest poverty!
good luck defining the standard of living without a mathematical formula, genius.
@@dinsel9691 keeping inequality in check doesnt work. They tried it, it was called socialism. it didnt make everyone happy, the contrary, it made everyone miserable. Keep everyone down is not a solution. We need to RAISE everyone up. Equality of OPPORTUNITY not outcome. I want WORK, I dont want state's handouts.

What is happening in Italy is starting to happen here in the US.
It has been happening for a long time, since the 1950s, when children stopped being taught real skills, cooking, sewing, carpentry, cleaning, and so much more, all children know how to do is watch tv and play games and if they graduate from college they have a degree in English or sociology meanwhile the Chinese and Hindu are engineers, doctors, and high tech professions.
Tech industry is destroying many livelihoods.

Most factory and craft jobs can’t sustain a living in first world if they havent been outsourced to 3rd world contries. Not all young people are born with STEM aptitude. The non stem types become relegated to service or retail jobs that still don’t sustain a standard of living.
Can you apply same logic to times of first industrial revolution, that not all people have machinery aptitude and people in agriculture have less and less pay? Then majority transformed into industrial workers somehow.
Then the native population has to compete with 3rd world immigrants for those low paying jobs. To add insult to injury, the ruling class will blame the victims for their circumstances

EU is failed to distribution the welfare of her members, they just move poverty from one country to another one country.
I believe the real reason why rich countries like Germany and Scandinavian supported to expand EU into the east just to give them cheap labor
the minimum pay in my country is 3eur/h. That's what workers in supermarkets, retail stores and other low entry level occupations earn. No wonder people can't survive, especially if the cost of living is higher than what they can earn...
Everywhere, in Holland, you earn 7, but the costs and taxes are more than three-quarters of you're income. Holland has the highest taxes of all Europe and small incomes, age discrimination. At 40 you hardly get a job, and the income you can only pay the cost. We have food banks, but not everyone is allowed to go there. And more people who are getting homeless, no houses. The EU and governments are telling lies to immigrations people, they should fall for it. It is helping nobody.
@@sirojadesign6561 7€ minimum is only when you’re 18, it goes up to 10€ by 21, but of course the system is not the best, however, it’s much better than in some other EU countries..
Minimum wage is not meant to be a sustainable wage. It’s entry level. Out of school. Transitioning from one job to another. People no longer have the drive to attain higher wages because it requires hard work and determination. It’s safer and easier to try to make a living from minimum wage and spend time bitching about it.
@Sofia G where are you from
@@ralphemerson497 then, if everyone will fight to attain higher wages, who will work for the service industry, construction, transportation, etc? And what about marginalized people who do not have the means to attain higher education? Minimum wage needs to be sustainable otherwise you’ll either have people living in poverty or no one who will do the “dirty” jobs.
I am working poor. Have been since the start of my working life. I have two university degrees which is no guarantee for not being poor. The undermining of the bargaining power of unions have going on for years. I expect this to continue since politicians are part of the problem, not the solution. Soon everybody will be a "supplier" to their current employer, making out invoices. This is where we are heading.
So the university enabled you to be poor
the EU promised a lot, kept very little. That was to be expected.
degrees in what and where do you live?
If you want to pursue a university degree in a specific subject, they should tell you upon application what the prospects of finding a job in that field are. Too many graduates are wandering around unemployed because they studied hard and got a degree that doesn't fit in modern society. I like the German model of apprenticeships, this is practical and realistic.
@@solamano7239 people need to do their own research
What worries me when I hear big central planners (EU, "experts," etc.) talk about poverty is that they almost always want to solve this problem with horrible solutions: higher taxes and regulations which don't make poor people wealthy, but such costs certainly get heaped on the backs of the average working man and woman.
If you've watched any of the World Economic Forum's videos, you will know their solution to it will be to bring in an era of neo-feudalism where we all live in pods and live off bugs.
WELL PORTUGAL WENT TO POVERTY since they entered in europe union,
Indeed! Poverty is the result of economic backwardness and lack of economic growth. That’s why poverty is worst in the EU states which are poorest, have the most highly regulated labor markets and lowest growth (Italy, Portugal, Greece, etc). Having bureaucrats in Brussels starting ever more ’projects’ and ’initiatives’ isn’t going to solve anything, maybe nly make them worse.
@@vilvianamentor646 no, Portugal became richer after joining the EU. However, it should not have joined the Euro.
exactly - adding more governance to the process is adding more poison... it ends in a big fail
The reason why in lots of middle class people’s in many countries is falling back because cost of living is too high and what we made is not enough to maintain our welfare. The problem is the government’s policy help the people’s or the just help big corporations and themselves. We the people are misled by this system and was giving a fake hope that if we work hard or get higher education we’ll get a better opportunity but sad enough that not the case.
Feel for you & get it, the US will not be far behind.

So we’re just not going to talk about the role central banks played in all of this?
banks only think on money they don't want lose money they borrow out because they make money on poor people when economy run bad bank want money back even when its bad time they can help people if they want but again they don't want lose money they want always go plus sad thing money its always the problem
@@peterbacke Its more than that. Its not money, its control of human existence.
The fiat currency system allows money supply to increase through debt. If we had this monetary system one hundred years ago there would of been no great depression and second world war.
Good to see these comments coming up more and more.
Guess we'll be joined on the front lines when the time comes.
The fault lies in the politicians, who sold out the population to speculate on their banker friends.
The deterioration of family and neighborly relationships perhaps is one of the largest factor of poverty.
Modern media emphasizes individuality and consumerism because those ideas are profitable.
Folks really need to pool in their resources to buy land. Cooperate and coordinate efforts to maximize synergy.
Trust and have faith in one another. Unity is strength.
There will never be enough resources for everyone to live a lavish life. Its best we accept our fate and start living like our ancestors.

I wonder how far the E.C. has got with combatting the one trillion euros that disappears each year through corporate and political fraud in the upper echelons? That would be useful for many poor people.

Very well done. Thank you.
The Irish banks paid back the bailout money years ago, a fact you conveniently omitted. In fact, nearly all banks that were bailed out as part of the 2008 crisis paid back their bailout plus interest. Its one of the few times a government investment actually made money.
1% rich living in Europe stand out...I have a global radar
The difficulty with agricultural work is that it is seasonal, but your living costs are not. Farmers also recruit professional teams who are prepared to essentially keep moving from country to country, and are paid low cash wages and live on site, but at a cash amount that is still a decent living in the lower living cost country the team comes from. It means that people spend huge amounts of time away from family and friends instead of being able to work in the industry at home, and in higher living cost countries noone can sensibly afford to work to this model.
If we go to the root of the problem we will find that it's the lack of morality that brings poverty to a nation.
The Italian family, just the mom has a job, but her daughter doesn't work, and she gets pregnant, I thought that happened just in latin america.

Well, I am pleased to learn that it is no longer a MAJOR scandal in Sicily to have a child out of wedlock. This new nonchalance of Sicilians can only mean that the homosexual Catholic Church is finally losing its grips on the moral compass of the average Sicilian. True morality has everything to do with one's integrity and honesty, and has nothing to do with one's sexual organ.
You can’t deny lovers the opportunity to manifest their love in the form of a child! Especially when it’s a full moon.
I'm from Kenya in East Africa, the topic of poverty isn't new especially having been brought up in such environment. I have studied the trend of poverty, it doesn't matter the Nation or continent where you are.
Our generation (the youths) I think we have missed a point, hoping to be rich overnight and thinking technology is the only way...we have ignored the main industries that built the current nations we have. I think the systems of education and mentorship must change, let young people go traditional, into agricultural and farming.
We can't wait government to tackle this alone. However, the government must also move faster to facilitate and create enablers for this generation. Poverty is becoming an endemic, it doesn't choose a country nowadays.

Some of the main culprits are importing low quality shoes, clothes, food, etc etc from China and Asia, not supporting higher quality but more expensive local producers and purchasing goods online from other countries

What's the point of luxury items if prices are increasing while income is stagnating? Middle income families will have no choice but be penny pinchers bc expenses are going up. Cheap goods keep coming bc there is an ever growing demand for it. Don't out of touch?

Globalization is a dirty word for many, but it does not have to be. A country can leverage its niche strength to command a higher price in the global market, then use its profits to circulate the money internally, thus supporting its local economy and raising the local’s economic buying power. As previously poor countries grow wealthier, new economic classes grow that can now afford to buy these high quality products. Countries like Greece and Italy have built a strong reputation on the quality of their products that they should protect and market. Don’t trade it for short-term gain of inferior cheap products just to make profit in the moment. It will cost them their reputation and in the long run, customers such as Marlene Flourentzou. Greece was indeed well known for its high quality leather goods, excellent olive oil, olives, and more. Same for Italy, whose high quality, exquisite artistic sensibility and craftsmanship can be seen in its architecture, fashion, cinema, and food. Market and sell your niche strengths to a global consumer base. But you also need to reduce internal corruption and aspects of your culture that promotes and accepts it.

The funds fell into the Swamp, you have to drain the Swamp first, then give the funds.
Wasn’t this filmed before the Coronavirus Pandemic?
Therefore any funds provided from the fall out of the pandemic wouldn’t have existed yet.
Moreover don’t think those funds are going to help that much especially not in the long run once things really start getting back to normal.
Honestly, the formation of the EU is for countries like Germany and France to get cheap labours from the less developed regions. How can countries like Greece, Portugal or Italy compete with Germany and France? What does these countries have? Research and development basicially don't exist. Hoping money to rain from the sky is not a smart option. When the time is good, countries like Portugal gets more share of the profit, but now time is bad, and it just make countries like Germany and France more likely to exploit thiis system.
Good point
France has more unemployed people, people relying on food banks than they ever gave. They are not rich and thriving. I know, I live here. In our town the factory, the main employer of this town, surrounded by countryside and hours away from the nearest cities, closed, putting the majority of workers into poverty. No other jobs are around here. Food banks thrive, and get more demand since Covid, but people cannot afford to donate, so food given out is scarce. My husband volunteered there. It was mostly desserts, and out-of-date vegetables and fruit. Only good for soups and juices. So now learn more facts about France being powerful
@@jacqueline8559
First of all, I respect your husband's courage and kindness for volunteering there at the food bank.
I understand things there are not good up there. At times like these, the only countries that do well are those resource-rich countries like Australia or Canada. France is not resource-rich. Europe is not resource-rich in general. So it will take a blow.
From an outsider's point of view, in general, the life quality in France is still better than in many other European countries though?
What are you even talking about? The EU is trying to save them for a decade. If Greece, Italy, and Portugal were not in Eurozone, do you think they'd had their GDP per capita increased this much? I'm from Turkey. We're not in the EU but our minds leave the country for Germany and France as well. You don't need to be in the EU for that. It starts by asking "What do the Germans do so well that they don't depend on other countries to save them?"
@@ergolibersum Well, relative to Turkey, they are doing well. If I were born in India or central africa republic I would think of Turkey as a heaven.
Very informative documentary - I had no idea it was this bad in Europe.
Chaos in corrupt southern Europe isn't representative for entire EU!
It's been bad for decades. The Italian-American community in the US came mostly from southern Italy. There has been a constant flow of Portuguese workers to northern Europe since the end of WW2. Not discussed in this doc but Greece is also another dysfunctional nation. So far, Ireland is doing better due to:
1. Expats return to invest in their homeland.
2. Hub for tech sector (low tax).
How can you make a documentary about poverty and unemployment in EU without mentioning Greece?

If internship doesn't work, then government should promote self employment. Provide a combination of grant and loan to fund small businesses. Forget about minimum wage. You need to remove all barriers to start a business, the biggest barrier is cost - rent and labor costs. You can have many food trucks driving around the city or station near the universities. You can have one hot dogs stand, one selling fries and burgers, one selling snacks, cookies and muffins, and other selling coffees or specialty drinks. You can build infrastructure to promote inner travelers or tourism within and across cities. Or other businesses to perform easy and cheap paint jobs, or small repairs. Once everyone has a job, big or small, then the economy will start rolling. It's like China, labor costs are low, everyone has a job even though some living in poor condition. It's only a stepping stone. If everyone willing to spend $5-10 to your business, there's opportunities for growth. If unemployment is at 38% and no jobs out there then there's simply no chance to begin.
Italy has an oppressive tax system, socialist government that overburdens productive adults to fund their overgenerous pension system, stringent business laws, insane hiring restrictions, unions and professional organizations create barriers to new graduates seeking jobs, add that to a shrinking population and a government that has a habit of misappropriating the budget and raising taxes… let me know your solution given the real life conditions in Italy
For as long as companies (manufacturing, particularly) keep on looking for lower labor market from other countries like those in South East Asia, there will be no work opportunities for the younger generation of Europe. The politicians cannot do anything about this business trend.
As manufacturing went over seas in order drive down the cost of products, businesses forgot to ask themselves the most important questions. How many TVs does the working person want? How many things does the working person want? When is enough? Then when they have huge inventories in warehouses full, they can't move products because people no longer can afford them or they just don't need those luxury goods.
Manifacturing is mechanzied. They are leaving asia too. The problem is deeper. We dont NEED as many low skilled workers as before. We never will, you can't change history. The problem is: what do we do with millions of low skilled workers who can't be trained for various reasons. This is a huge historical problem. And I dont have a solution. No one has.
@@freedomordeath89 I understand that certain aspects of manufacturing are mechanized and I'm well aware about how society perceives low skilled workers. I see homeless Americans around my city and videos about the homeless situations across the country and around the world. It's also terrifying how one moment you could be in a middle class job and then have it disappear on you. UBI may be a method to help people out but its such a controversial subject that mentioning it gets people suspecting you. I have no solution as well with how to help people not just in this country but others around the world. Great insight btw.
@@AOMVideoProductions This is not about homeless, or pity parties. homeless are mostly drug addicts, that's another issue. We are talking about the working poor. millions of people working full time and not earning enough to live decently.
It's a global problem for unskilled workers
No UBI is a silly idea that will never work, all the people who claim UBI will save us, actually never did the MATH. Even the smallest UBI's will cost MORE THAN THE CURRENT US BUDGET. How is the US gonna spaend that much? Where are thye going to find that money? No UBI guru-snake oil seller will ever tell you that with precise numbers.
Just do the math.
12.000/year for 210 million adult citizens=3 trillions=90% of the current US budget.
And 12k a year is not even ENOUGH to survive well in the US.
There is no future in manufacturing as things get more automated, except of course in skilled roles like mechanical or electrical engineering. The point is to not try to find opening in dead end fields but to build valuable skill sets in preparation for future and current world, i.e. Engineering, medicine, legal.
Lol, if these governments haven't figured out how to solve some of these "problems" by now, then I would posit, that they never will. However, it does create a great environment for the political class to maintain their bureaucracy and power.

I know that there is not future in a job but a career, which if I am talented or skilled at something there are no funds from the government to help me create wealth for myself or to create jobs for the unemployed ,the government doesn't do anything lol.
Its not the job of government to create jobs or provide money for people to create jobs. It’s up to each person to either get a job working for someone else or to start your own business. If you need money to start a business then you create a business plan that details what you intend to do and how much money it should make etc. Then you take that to a bank or a venture capital firm and get a loan to start your business. That’s how its done because if you wait for the government to do anything for you then you will be waiting for the rest of your life. I’m not going to say America is perfect but I will say that the reason America in the past was so good is because it was full of people that came here with nothing but dreams and they did whatever they had to do to make it come true. People came from all over the world and carved out a life for themselves. I know people who came here from Vietnam in the 70’s and 80’s with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Today they have a business and own their home and put their children through college.
The role of government is to stay out of the way and simply protect peoples rights that’s all.

The housing problem in Europe is one of the biggest issues.

Parents need to study themselves before popping out innocents. A good home environment is the key to success which I have not got ".........poverty is the future whose parents don’t think before doing. It should be crime to bring children to poverty.

Unfortunately the job market has changed, and since automation, it has caused mass redundancies and unemployment. The trades mentioned e.g. shoemaker, decorator, farming have all gone. We live in a throw-away society, where it’s cheaper to buy a mass produced dress from H&M or Primark, rather than sew and make your own one-off dress. I sew and quilt, when people see the quilts I’ve made they ask how much it would cost. If I calculate the cost of fabric and supplies, then my time, it would be extortionate, because of the time spent on it. They can buy a quilt for £20, which has been made in a factory in China. The jobs available in the future will not be the same as what we have in the job market today. We need to prepare our children with the skills and education, so that they can be employable when they enter the job market when they’re working age. Another factor is that the population is growing and the job market is shrinking. Our youth are our economy of the future.

You don´t need to rent it for free either, just give them enough of a discount that they can actually afford it. So what if the rich owner only get 100$ for a 1000$ apartment. If its empty anyway its still better than nothing. What is so unpractical about that?
As for food supermarkets throw out enough to feed the world, just transport it to a homeless shelter rather than the dump. 30-40% of all food in the US ends up as garbage.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me not to waste living space or resources. It might not be easy to organize, but certainly its possible to do better than we are doing now. Its got to be a lack of will, not money or possibilities.
@@1112viggo Wrong, you clearly dont know much about managing a building if you think it doesnt cost more to have someone living in it.
"discount" why should a private owner be forced to give charity? Are YOU forced to give charity' Why don't YOU gift your money to the poor?
If it's empty there's a REASON you dummy. It means it would cost MORE to rent it. You have no idea how renting works.
"supermarkets" WHO is going to take the expiring food from supermarkets to people FOR FREE? Are YOU going to do it? How are you going to RENT a truck to do it? SPOILER ALERT KID: a truck costs thousands of euros every day if you rent it
And what about possible incidents/food poisoning? WHo's going to COVER that? What if you get a lawsuit by someone you gifted food from? THINK before writing.
"wasting living space and resources" wow you quoting the Mein Kempf now? hahaha
@@freedomordeath89 I didn´t say it didn´t cost more, i just said buildings requires maintenance either way. Its no charity... If the buildings are empty the owner gets no money, if homeless can live there cheap, they get some money.
If someone is able and willing to pay full price for the apartment, then they get it, and if the former homeless dude gets a job and is able to pay full rent or move somewhere else, then he should do that to the benefit of the owner. is that charity?
Expiring food gets thrown out either way. Instead of paying a truck to drive it to the dump you pay him to drive it to a soup kitchen type place that dives it up and hands it out to the homeless and poor by the same volunteers already working there. Where is the cost there? The supermarket can attract more costumers by letting them know they are doing "charity" even though it costs them nothing. People love that and it will end up increasing their profits, its already been done small scale if you bothered looking into it...
Of course you don´t hand out food that will make people sick, come on dude, really? Most of what supermarkets throw away is "expired" to the point where it doesn't taste or look all that great but pose no risk to your health.
Still better than being poor in poor countries.
No doubt there's a lot of poor management and embezzlement of public funds going on in the southern countries of europe, but the youngsters aren't without blame either; they all want top paying jobs in tech and refuse any job requiring some degree of physical labour.
I would have taken that kind of job instead of tech if there were schools to teach me or apprenticeships that didn't look like slavery with extra steps. Between the easy path and the seemingly impossible one, complex math was the easier
I'm from Italy. i got laid off 3 times in 3 years in warehouses jobs. COmpanies hire you with temp contracts, exploit the 1st year tax reduction, then they lay you off to get a new person and save on taxes. There's no jobs. It's not tre that we dont want to work. There's no one HIRING full time. And when you need to choose between getting exploited with a temp contract for 1000 eur/month OR stay at home unemployed and get 800/month + side hustles...guess what most people choose?
@@issecret1 Sadly that's the state of things. A suggestion: if you are still young/studying, do an apprenticeship part time while studying.
Once you get too old you are f***ed otherwise.
@@freedomordeath89 - Very true.
The worst of the worst for Italy was to sign a treaty (Mastricht) that was very incovenient for my Nation, plus a strong currency (Euro) for a country that found its economy on exportations, so this things called european union/Euro works only for Germany and its satellite cuontries, the german governament on febraury 7th 1992 did an excellent job for the germans
And what about birthcontrol?
@@capassoluigi7387 Caro Luigi ci sono due vincoli che entrambi pesano come macigni su l'italia uno principalmente Euro/commissione eu, e l'altro e' l'inverno demografico, questi 2 fattori determinano la crescita in termini di pil e di potenza come fattore geopolitico
If Britain can Brexit, Italy can Italexit
Why didn’t Italy retain the Lira
@@frederickmuhlbauer9477 Political reasons, meaning whoever was at the governament around that period(1992 in particular) they were willing to do so, of course big part of the elite played a big role behind the curtains, oligarchies always get their way at some point

In reality, this situation is Millennia old and intensely it is at the very least Centuries old!
I hope this crises is averted somehow..
Hope the people in poverty are aided
I have lived in Portugal for the past 4 plus year's...Even with the boom in Tourism...The wages in Portugal are still dismal and the cost of goods and service's, high, throw in Covid-19, and you get the picture...This video is from 2017, and nothing has changed for the majority, while the few have become richer...Throwing money at corrupt Politicians in various countries is like having sex with a condom on full of holes, expecting that little Giuseppe, won't be around 9 month's later...People know what the problems are and refuse to fix them, it's a choice...Bread and Circuses...😉
Thank you for your comment. This documentary is old 2017. Poverty in America today 2021, looks akin to the Great Depression. Olympia Washington USA
How do get you get out of a
Economic crisis. Are you saying sex is the cause.
@@kathleankeesler1639 What? No it doesn't. 😳
@@kathleankeesler1639 poverty in America is because of the ineptitude of the current demented president. Under Mr, Trump we had the lowest unemployment rate even under the black and latino population. Now we have a democratic administration the unemployment rate shot up, the crime rate skyrocketed, the influx of illegal aliens skyrocketed. We can all blame it on that uncompetent Joe biden.
