The polarization between the rich and the poor in France has intensified, and the poverty rate of children of non-European immigrants is high.

AFP, Paris, April 28th. According to the statistical report of Family Income and Property published by the National Institute of Statistics and Economics 20 1 1, one tenth of the residents living in France are direct descendants of immigrants, that is, they were born in France, but at least one of their parents is an immigrant.

In 2008, 265,438+0.65 and 438+0% of immigrant children lived below the poverty line (60% of middle income), accounting for 65,438+00.6% of French parents and 28.5% of the first generation immigrants.

The average living standard of the second generation immigrants is 19570 euros per year, which is higher than that of immigrants 10%, but lower than that of those whose parents are French 14%.

According to the survey, the living standard of the second generation immigrants is low, mainly because their average age is lower than that of other French people.

The unemployment rate of immigrant descendants (1 1%) is also higher than that of French children (7%), and the proportion of middle and senior staff (13%) and middlemen (22%) is also low. According to statistics, half of the fathers of immigrant descendants are workers, and 47% of the mothers do not work.

The living standard of descendants whose parents are immigrants is related to their parents' country of origin. One parent is descended from immigrants or parents are from European countries, and their living standards are comparable to those of French parents, with a gap of only 1%. The average living standard of people whose parents are African immigrants is 30% lower than that of French children.

The National Institute of Statistics and Economics explained that Europe immigrated to France earlier than Africa, so the average age of European immigrants was older and their integration began earlier.

In addition, the average annual income of people whose parents are immigrants is 18400 euros, and that of people whose parents are immigrants is 20550 euros.

The National Institute of Statistics and Economics emphasizes that "having a non-immigrant father or mother is conducive to children's learning French and social development."

The polarization between the rich and the poor in France has intensified

The 20 1 1 household income and property report released by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economics (INSEE) shows that the gap between the rich and the poor in France widened from 2004 to 2008. Due to the increase of property income, the rich become richer.

The "living standard" in France is calculated by the per capita income of the family, taking into account factors such as saving lives and children spending less than adults.

Generally speaking, from 1996 to 2008, the gap between the rich and the poor in French living standards has not changed much. For example, if we compare the highest living standard of 10% of the poorest families (10520 euros) with the lowest living standard of 10% of the richest families (35550 euros), the difference ratio in 2008 is 3.4, while 1996.

However, since 2004, the gap between the rich and the poor has gradually widened, mainly due to the substantial increase in property income owned by the richest. Lality Ai, a researcher at the Economic Research Institute, pointed out at the press conference that "the income of family property is increasing at the rate of 1 1% every year".
