According to the poverty report of the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, poverty rose to a new record level of 16.1 percent in 2020, the first year of the current economic crisis. Thus, 13.4 million people in the FRG are poor according to the bourgeois definition. This renewed increase is in line with the trend that has been evident for years. In 2006, it was 14 percent and in 2019 15.9 percent. The most severely affected by poverty are migrant people, single mothers and people with more than three children - which also makes the proportion of children living in poverty considerable. There is also a significant difference between the various federal states of the FRG.

Until then climate protection only can be a dream.
