El coste de la vivienda empuja a 770.000 trabajadores a la pobreza, según 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
A shocking report from Oxfam Intermón reveals that the cost of housing is pushing 770,000 working individuals into poverty, according to their latest study, "When Work No Longer Pays." This figure accounts for an additional 770,000 workers falling below the poverty line due to housing expenses, bringing the total number of impoverished workers to approximately three million.
If the impact of housing costs is not taken into account, the number of poor workers would increase to 2.2 million. The poverty rate among laborers rises by four percentage points from 11.48% to 15.49% once housing expenses, such as rent, mortgage payments, or associated taxes, are deducted from their income.
