FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Poverty on the rise across France amid Covid-19 pandemic” – below is their description.
French charity Secours Catholique recently published its annual report on poverty. The NGO, which helped around 1.4 million people in 2019, estimates that their median income is €537 per month, well below the poverty line in France. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, people across job sectors have been left with little or no work, with many households slipping into poverty as a result. Our colleagues at France 2 report, with FRANCE 24’s James Vasina.
