#poverty #Germany #children
There's no such thing as "child poverty", there's simply 'poverty'...and children are financially dependent on their parents.
Exactly.
I don’t get all this handwringing over the term. “Child poverty” is poverty that affects children, it’s not that difficult to understand. That’s like saying there are no “red cars”, there are only “cars”…
@@mark9294 We should keep children out of politics. The solution to child poverty will be child labour.
@@mark9294 The term is misleading. There can't be any "child poverty" without poverty. The car example doesn't hold up. A red car specifially is disntinctly different from a car. Not every car is red. If there is child poverty there is just poverty though. "Child poverty" says "the parents are poor" the same way poverty says "the parents are poor". You are trying to make a distinction "children are affected" that also doesn't exist. Children are always affected by poverty. The only exceptions to the rule would be rich parents kicking out their children into poverty or celibate poor people that don't have children. Neither of these cases are meant by child poverty though.
There is no such thing as "Child poverty". Only poverty. And it hits families.
But I guess it sounds better when you say it like that.
How does “child poverty” sound better than just “poverty”? Imo it sounds worse.
@@lenn939 Better for attention. Better for clicks. They tend to use strong, trigger words to get to our primal instincts and reactions.
Child poverty will harm the state taxes on the long run. These deprived children are expected to pay pensions one day.
Children yearn for the mines
@@Kartoffelsuppe_m_Wursteinlage guess there will be no pensions then. I'm 32 and expect nothing. Millennials and Gen Z are adjusting, it's only an issue to people trying to retire within next 10-15 years

@@spookyargument7537Actually financial support for the poor makes up the largest part of the budget.

The US and the UN/WEF/EU have trashed the place and the economy. Some Ukrainian style trashing is heading their way soon. Then the US can move in and rebuild a trashed Europe and make huge moola like after WW2. You can see it already happening in Ukraine with Blackrock and JP Morgan. The Euro was beginning to become a threat the US petro dollar and we all know what the US does when that happens. How could Germany allow the US to trash their cheap energy deals with Russia? Insanity and nothing of gain in it for Germany only misery.
Ah well, that's what happens when you import social problems from other countries without first resolving your own. It only makes it worse.
You are absolutely right! The German Government wants GERMANS to be poor!!!!
The TikTok comments all say it is not important that people in other countries are poor because it means they are lazy, and it is more important that people donate money to Palestine lol 😅
Painful yet it's the honest truth!
Same things happening in Australia bringing all the boat people in and the standard of living keeps dropping. I often tell people when I was a kid we had steak most nights now we chop up one piece and put it on pasta for a whole family lol
The only social problem is that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the middle class gets fckd. And that is not because people flee from misery, but because of a system that serves only the rich and spreads like a cancer worldwide.

On a personal level, if one cannot take care of one's self, one is seen as unable to help others. That approach should go for governments too.
I wonder about the impact that immigration has on the overall poverty statistic. Also, being poor in Germany doesn't mean that you go to bed hungry (which is why so many immigrants go there as well). 20% of the population pays 80% of the taxes.
You absolute right ......
Tf are u talking about, as if germany isn't becoming industrialy irrelevant day by day , blame immigration as if 80 % of the population are immigrants .
Germany is suffering the consequences of being a puppet to the us .
You're wrong! There is hunger! People without electricity! homeless people. It's all there in Germany, you just have to want to see it! German politicians just haven't seen it for a long time. At least since the 70's
Yeah just stick the immigration sticker to every problem.
@@b4hva984 the mass immigration plays a role in it.
While the rich get richer...
you can get rich either with creativity (invention) or monopoles
Not while, it is because. The more people are rich or the richer they become the more people have to be poor or the poorer they have to become.
The problem to get rich is taxes
Richer you get،پ،more tax you pay
@@flesz_ Wrong. No matter if you live in Germany or the US of A, the richer you are the less tax you pay - because the super rich have excellent conditions to pay almost no tax. Sure, there are rich people who are fair - at least to some extend - but many are not and pay no tax. Or don't you understand why Elon Musk for example lives from loans or could completely buy Twitter by loans? The richer you are, the less money you need.
that's true, but that is only if you get to a level of having a few or tens of millions , but how do you get there?
If you want to jump from working class to middle class , that's when they tax you 45% and more. Pretty much you give away half of your money .
Unless you are a family of super rich who inherited the fortune that is no problem, you can buy property in monaco, have wealth management companies find the best way to sort you out, create offshore accounts , pay pretty much no tax @@pakabe8774
It’s the same in every western developed country. Germany is particularly vulnerable because the salaries are so low while prices are very high and increasing. In the USA there is even more devastation because we don’t have a safety net and the poor end up homeless.
Yes? But you have the money to finance all the global special military missions
Food prices in Germany are one of the lowest in Europe and cheaper than
US.
@@BlingBlingBandido Food prices only.
You can't even buy a property, and most Germans rent (Most Europeans rent also); people take mortgages for 30+ years, which is crazy.
500k for an ordinary house in Germany. I've bought a business-class apartment for 200k USD in Russia without taking on massive debt.
Car prices in Germany for German cars are almost 20-30% higher than in the US lol. US citizens can buy a brand new BMW X5, and I know few people who did this in the US and are just hired employees... they own several brand-new BMWS... yet in Germany, people can only dream about buying a new BMW X5; instead, they mostly buy used cars.
We live in such an economic system where people are homeless because most cannot own houses/apartments and have to rent for the rest of their lives.
This is not normal, and this is not how our parents lived.
Taxes in Germany are enormous.... 42% tax for an ordinary salary.
Most services are overpriced. Utility prices are crazy. Internet prices? I pay about ~12 USD for 500 mbit/s in Kazakhstan.

The recession hit Germany hard. The combination of an aging population, a shrinking workforce, reduced production, and wrong government policies has brought this to a head. Even cheap Ukrainian and Syrian labor will not be able to fix Germany's economy.
Installing wealth taxes would be a first step.
We talk here about imbalances, this country is rich.
@@Kartoffelsuppe_m_Wursteinlage not the rich 🤣🤣
As German language is an absolute must for German employers, it starts to take away the interests of skilled workers from across the globe. They feel that it is quite a challenge to learn German (takes a lot of valuable time, which they can invest in other useful things), where other countries are managing with English. Moreover, every small process by the Auslandbehörde (for foreigners) takes a lot of time and the finance and banking industries are quite slow and unresponsive to customers (talking from a common man point of view).
It’s not just Germany, it’s Korea, Australia, Canada, USA, UK and more.
It is a well established fact the economy in Germany has been going downhill as far back as 18 months ago. 😭

Direct result of Angela's legacy and of the new liberal/green coalition!
There is nothing liberal. It turns totalitarian and is socialist all along
Germany has not had any wealth taxes since 1996. Even in socialist Switzerland you have to pay such taxes.
but there was no decline of Germany after 1996.
the decline is post the lunatic Left agenda: sanctions on Russia, Green policies, high priced energy, mass immigration.
that may well explain why so much of Switzerland looks like a sh**hole compared to the past.
"Even in socialist Switzerland you have to pay wealth taxes?" Sorry, but that statement makes no sense. I'd expect there to be wealth taxes in a socialist country.

Yeap. I'm working and I get 13.50 an hour. 130hr in total. That's less than 1800€ gross. Rent isn't cheap and neither is the energy costs. Not to mention all the other taxes one has to pay. In Germany, if you don't meet the right people with the right opportunity, it's almost impossible to advance from where you are. The tide pushing back is hard. It's like a uphill battle against a raging flood. A large part is due to the bureaucracy and the time it takes to get things done. Having to wait on mail and reply takes a lot of unnecessary time and quite frankly a waste of paper. I have suitcases filled with letters.

It depends on how we define poverty. In other countries they would probably be considered rich.
Only in impoverished countries... I live in Kazakhstan (though I'm Russian originally), and many retired people own 2-3 flats here.
Pensions are pretty low, so they just rent out their property and make a decent income, like 1-2k euro netto per month. (after taxes, etc)
Interest rates are also high, so you can basically make additional 300-500 USD netto per month just by holding some amount in your account.
@@kordaxmint533 median income in Germany is also 3x higher than in kazakhstan. Do you not understand how exchange rates work?
@@jeremytine I make more than 74k euro netto in Kazakhstan (Annual).
Keep looking at statistics etc.
Also, your median income is gross, and a 60k salary is like 40k really before the rent (or 37k for 1st category), and rent prices are huge in Germany.
After rent it will be like 28k euros annually, which is only 2333 euros per month.
Do you not understand how statistics and economies work?
I worked in Mannheim previously (for Movilizer), so your bs won't work here.
@@kordaxmint533 yeah, I know how statistics work, that is why I used them unlike your anecdotal data... How much you, a single person, make is irrelevant unlike the median person. If you compare PPP(purchasing power parity) median income, it is still higher in Germany.
@@NobleTitans "it is not about exchange rate but rather purchasing power." exchange rate does play a part, and I also mentioned PPP which is still in Germany's favor. 😉 feel free to quote PPP stats of countries involved 🍿😁
I think it's good that in Germany you can talk openly about serious problems such as poverty and report on them on television and in newspapers. In my home country Belarus it is forbidden to talk about such things publicly, even though people's purchasing power is much (!) worse than in Germany. The cityscape in Belarus is characterized by countless second-hand shops. Many pensioners work until they are 70 because they want to help their poor children and grandchildren. But in Belarus there are no food banks, no social markets and no soup kitchens - that would be considered a shame and would publicly show the true extent of poverty. The media tells people that things are not as bad for them as the people in Africa, for example, who often have no bread at all. Anyone who dares to talk about it publicly will receive a punishment or even a few months in prison - for “discrediting” the authorities and the government.

Totally agree, but those immigrants will end up doing the low salary jobs that hold the economy, so they are not that bad in the actual situation. It's the same here in Spain, you go to the plantations and almost all the workers are immigrants. What the states should do is stop giving those people money, they should be productive to the society, not detrimental.

Germany needs a serious overhaul, both politically and socially. It now depends upon the enlightened and educated German citizens to understand how they will steer the country away from this.

Wrong. Bureaucracy is helping to decrease poverty. Lowering bureaucracy just hides poverty. I myself grew up in poverty in the 80's and 90's. My Mother grew up in poverty in the 60's and 70's. We just weren't statistically detected, but believe me, we existed.

I mean this does make sense, German industries already do not find people to work for them. German salaries are slowly becoming unattractive for most of the educated people. So keeping German children poor will mean they spend a lot more time worrying, little time studying. This will in turn mean instead of being able to get high paying jobs in the future, there will be a steady flow of people forced to work for the lowest German salaries keeping Germany in some form an attractive export option for the world.
So it’s a Republican system? The German people can do a walk out and shut the country down starting with healthcare.

Meanwhile it seems that the whole society is falling apart. Those who have little care for those who have even less while the rich are looking for more and more perverted pleasure to spend the money that they suck out of the working people by a self-sustaining system protected by laws that serve the rich and punish the poor.
"Child poverty" shouldn't even be a thing. Don't have children that you can't afford. This goes for the whole world. Not just Germany. Ppl have these kids and expect others to take care of them.

In Germany? Come on, doctors make like 80K+. Maybe if you just finished school and are single parent or something. I have 2 small children in Bavaria and the entire necessary costs of our family are definitely bellow 3000 euros per month (including rent, not including vacations and champagne). Don't say you don't make 3000 netto as a doctor. Plus you get 250 per kid Kindergeld. I mean seriously I'd like to understand how what you are saying is possible.
Can I ask how many hours you work per week and what is your income? Are your renting your living place or have own house?
A struggling doctor? Hard to believe. Do you live in a 4 bedroom apartment in downtown?
The doctors i know drive 100,000€ SUVs and live in small mansions.
Germany has one of the highest minimum wages around the world already. So my guess would be that raising minimum wages further will not solve the problem. In my eyes the goverment should try to lower the energy prices for private households.
throwing money at an ailing economy only drives up inflation. they need to increase production so things become cheaper. Not just raise wages.
