A cry of alarm, in the face of a phenomenon which is inscribed in time.
This Wednesday, in Marseille, associations fighting against poverty in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region pleaded for the creation of a "regional observatory of great poverty", while "the social consequences of the health crisis are sustainable, ”they say.
"We hear a little music, that the health crisis, even if it is not true, is resolved and that the social crisis and its consequences are reduced, but it is not at all true", estimates Christophe Devys, president of the Alerte collective, which brings together French associations fighting against poverty and exclusion.
According to forecasts published in early October by the National Institute of Statistics, the "shock wave" of Covid-19 should continue to dampen.
Helped by a strong rebound in salaried employment, the unemployment rate should drop sharply from the fall, to 7.6% in the third quarter, forecasts INSEE.
