Half of Albanians are at risk of poverty, INSTAT shows the 'scary' figures

Half of Albanians are at risk of poverty, INSTAT shows the 'scary'

One in four Albanians live in poverty to the point of misery. This means that it is impossible for them to feed well, to keep warm, not even being able to cure even the lightest diseases.

Data from the Institute of Statistics show that in 2021 there were 622 thousand Albanians from about 621 thousand in 2020 who lived below the poverty line. The map of the poor has thus been expanded by over 1,000 individuals. "I'm sorry... I'm in pain because the situation is getting worse every year. The fact that many Albanians do not want to live in Albania shows that the country is becoming uninhabitable", says sociologist Zuhdi Dervishi.

Meanwhile, almost half of the population is at risk of falling into poverty this year. This indicator is twice the average of the European Union and significantly higher than in the countries of the Region. Data from INSTAT show that nearly 44 percent of Albanians receive enough monthly income to meet the most basic needs, a balance that is in danger of being broken by the increase in prices.

"The rapid increase in prices immediately worsens the economic situation of Albanians. It should be noted that the prices of vital elements are increasing", continues the sociologist.

For sociologists, the high level of poverty is the answer to the question: Why are Albanians leaving?

"I remember an expression of Heinrich Heine, a great German poet who experienced emigration himself. He used to say: What do I need from a Motherland that treats me like a ragged warrior?", replies Dervish.

Data from INSTAT from the measurement of income and standard of living for 2021 also show that almost 26 percent of families with children are at risk of poverty, not being able to provide the latter with a decent living.
