Poor but...poor

the latest iStat survey (2021), shows that in Italy, there are 1,960,000 families in absolute poverty, equal to 7.5 percent of the total, and 2,895,000 families in relative poverty, equal to 11.1 percent of the total. therefore, about one-fifth of Italian families live in poverty. Seventy years later, despite Italy being a developed and wealthy country, poverty remains a serious problem that affects many families and individuals, compromising their quality of life and putting their dignity at risk, with percentages not very different from those of the 1950s.
