NUMBER FOR THE DAY. Non-EU citizens, single parents and the unemployed are most likely to have very little.
Last year, 336,000 people in Austria were not only relatively poor, but absolutely poor. Statistics collected by Austria. Extreme poverty or material and social disadvantage occurs when a number of specific criteria are met.
In certain population groups, the proportion of poor people is significantly higher than average, i.e. well over four percent: This is the case for non-EU citizens (12 percent), single parents (15) and unemployed (24 percent).
You can get a slightly better idea of what this means if you look, for example, at the proportion of those who cannot cope with unexpected expenses of 1,370 euros without credit payments or allowances, who, as that, almost zero reserves: In the total population, this is 23 percent. However, in the aforementioned groups, there are more than twice as many, or between 52 percent (single parents) and 62 percent (unemployed).
The highest numbers are among the unemployed: 57 percent cannot afford one week’s vacation a year, 41 percent cannot afford furniture that is worn out, 28 percent are in arrears and 24 percent are unable to pay from time to time for expenses for personal utilities.
