October 1st we will publish the call for a funded PhD student to work @demosocupf.bsky.social in the project 'Unpacking the Puzzle of Child Poverty: Why Child Poverty Persists Despite Economic Recovery and Declining Inequality', funded by the Spanish Research Agency. Interested? Get in touch!
Project description: UNPACK departs from three empirical observations about child poverty. First, child poverty rates in Spain are consistently higher than would be expected by its economic development. Second, child poverty rates have not decreased with economic growth since the end of the Great Recession, while adult poverty rates do, even if slightly. Third, recent policy reforms targeted at combatting inequality and reducing poverty have resulted in improvements in employment and several welfare and equity indicators, but appear to have limited impact on child poverty reduction. High child poverty rates in Spain, and more widely Southern Europe, have been traditionally associated with weak labour markets and underdeveloped social protection systems that poorly target families with children. However, neither improving labour market prospects nor the introduction of new policy initiatives appear to impact child poverty rates. This project seeks to approach this puzzle by (a) further exploring child poverty trends in Spain and (Southern) Europe, (b) extending the literature on child poverty and labour markets with particular attention to poverty dynamics, and (c) analysing the design and outcomes of recent poverty reforms in Southern Europe targeted at reducing child poverty. In doing so, the project seeks to further our understanding of the determinants of disappointing child poverty trends in Spain and Europe, and elaborate relevant policy proposals

Casi 1,3 millones de niños y niñas que se encuentran en riesgo de pobreza no reciben ningún tipo de ayuda alimentaria. El acceso universal y gratuito al comedor supondría invertir un 0,39% del PIB de España, según un estudio de Educo.

En el último Gobierno del PP había una trama para repartirse sobres en Génova, una policía política para perseguir ilegalmente a sus adversarios, y al parecer un zoco en Hacienda para favorecer a grandes multinacionales y casas de apuestas, previo pago de su importe. Y ahí están, dando lecciones.
El sumario del 'caso Montoro' implica al exministro Catalá en el contrato entre Equipo Económico y Codere para favorecer a la multinacional de apuestas deportivas
Codere contrató a través del exdirigente del PP a Equipo Económico para que se aprobara la ley que reguló el juego en el gobierno de Zapatero y que después implementó el gobierno de Mariano Rajoy | Ca...

Interesante gráfico sobre la distribución de la riqueza en España por tipo de activo:

1⃣La vivienda principal es más del 50% de la riqueza para el 70% de los españoles.
2⃣La inversión en inmuebles, en valores y similares es mayor cuanto más ricos sean.

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat.

People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.
