Poverty - pauvreté anglaise
Publié : 11 juin 2006
Si vous lisez un peu l'anglais (ou beaucoup), vous pouvez aller voir ce site britannique :
http://www.poverty.org.uk/intro/index.htm
The most authoritative UK site for statistics on poverty and social exclusion.
Vous y apprendrez en particulier que 1.500.000 personnes de 25 ans ou plus "économiquement inactives" veulent travailler, nombre bien supérieur au nombre officiel de chômeurs.
" Why this indicator was chosen
This indicator recognises that it is not sufficient to look only at those officially unemployed since they are actually a minority of working age adults who would like to have a job. A large section of adults who are officially described as ‘economically inactive’ rather than unemployed would also like to work, and may even be actively seeking to find a job. The balance between the unemployed and the economically inactive has recently been changing, with falling numbers of unemployed and stable or rising levels of economic inactivity. The indicator therefore shows both the unemployed and the economically inactive who would like work. "
Attention, certains pourcentages du chômage (unemployment) sont donnés selon le mode de calcul ILO (International Labour Organisation = OIT Organisation Internationale du Travail : http://www.ilo.org/). Le pourcentage de chômeurs se rapporte à l'ensemble de la population en âge de travailler au lieu de la population active, ce qui diminue le nombre sans raison et est contraire à toutes les statistiques habituelles.
" Note that the ILO unemployment rates in these graphs are not the same as in some of the other indicators, as it is percentage of the total population (whereas, in other indicators, it is expressed as a percentage of the economically active population). "
