According to a Ministry of Labour forecast, 35 per cent of the estimated 390,000 children to be born this year in Poland will be raised by families which “barely make ends meet”, where per capita monthly income does not exceed 539 zlotys (€135).
As a result, 132,000 parents will claim social allowance for the poorest citizens. “It’s a myth that poverty and destitution affects only older people,” says an expert quoted by the daily, adding that “Poland is certainly not a country for young people.”
