The cost of housing is pushing 770,000 workers into poverty, according to Oxfam Intermón
La tasa de trabajadores pobres asciende al 15,49%, hasta los tres millones, al descontar de los ingresos el alquiler o la hipoteca
Oxfam Intermón's latest report, "Cuando trabajar no es suficiente", reveals that the cost of housing pushes nearly 770,000 more workers below the poverty line. This brings the total number of workers living in poverty to approximately three million. Without housing costs, the number of workers in poverty would be 2.2 million. The poverty rate among workers increases by four percentage points, from 11.48% to 15.49%, when housing expenses such as rent, mortgage, and taxes are taken into account.
