Vos no entendiste, Justiciero hablaba de trabajo en negro:
Estas equivocado. Ningún jefe te deja trabajar cuando querés porque ese trato no está disponible. Andá a cualquier laburo para el que estés calificado y proponele al patrón laburar por un porcentaje de las ganancias que generes. Vas a ver como le brillan los ojos. Al final vas a terminar ganando más que lo que ganarías en blanco, con vacaciones, y otras cosas que te hacen creer que necesitás
Esto lo respondi en el thread del cipayo, pero aca calza perfecto:
¿Hong Kong lidera ese ranking?,
Hong Kong: 20% of residents live in poverty
The number of people living below the poverty line rose to 1.35 million in 2016, despite economic growth
A record number of Hong Kong residents live in poverty, with one fifth of the population falling below the poverty line despite economic growth, according to new government figures.
The number of people living below the poverty line rose to 1.35 million in 2016, about 20% of the city’s population. The number is the highest number of poor since the government began publishing statistics in 2009.
Despite opulent wealth, Hong Kong is a deeply unequal society. It is the world’s most unaffordable housing market and poorer residents live in squalid conditions, with some living in “coffin homes” – rows of wooden boxes crammed into tiny flats.
The number of poor rose despite the government raising the poverty line last year. For single person households it is set at HK$4,000 (£388). It is HK$9,000 (£873) for a two person home and HK$15,000 (£1,455) for a family of three. In the city’s poorest district of Sham Shui Po, which is home to large numbers of recent immigrants and ethnic minorities, the poverty rate rose to nearly a quarter of the population.
Hong Kong officials blamed the increase in poverty on an ageing population, and the rate for residents over 65 was about 32%.
Social groups criticised the government for its lack of action on poverty alleviation and demanded an increase in welfare payments.
“Economic growth can not help the lower classes share in the economic achievements,” said a spokesman for the Society for Community Organisation, an NGO that works with the poor. “Reflecting on the grim poverty in Hong Kong, the government’s poverty alleviation measures lack strength, precision and intensity.”
The group called on the government to pass laws combating age discrimination and increase welfare schemes for the elderly. The city’s minimum wage is £3.35 per hour and is reviewed every two years.
The large number of poor in Hong Kong rose despite the government posting a £10.7bn surplus in the most recent fiscal year. Hong Kong’s GDP per capita is ranked among the highest of any country or territory, according to the World Bank, and exceeds the UK, Germany and Japan.
Wealth is most apparent in the city’s chronically unaffordable property market. A recent analysis found that prices for parking spaces were rising faster than for flats in some parts of Hong Kong.
In a sample of three housing estates, parking bay prices rose by an average of 167% in the past six years, while flat prices increased by 52%.
“It is quite common to see parking spaces transacted at above HK$2m in recent years, and HK$1m is becoming the entry point for parking spaces in Hong Kong,” said Alan Jin, an analyst at Mizuho Securities Asia. “Essentially, what has happened in the parking sub-sector is pretty similar to what has happened and is still happening in the housing market. The shortage of supply is the key reason for the astronomical prices.”
But speculation was another reason for the rise in prices, Jin said.

Top 10 facts about poverty in Singapore:
Singapore has one of the largest income gaps in the world. [b]Wealth is disproportionately spread among wealthy foreigners while native Singaporeans live in poverty and often have lower-paying jobs.[/b]Between 2012 and 2015, the number of families receiving financial assistance in Singapore jumped 43.45 percent. This is the highest poverty rate ever reported in the country.
Singapore does not have a national minimum wage. This means that there is no standard for the lowest an employer has to pay an employee, leaving many laborers without enough money to reach an acceptable standard of living. However, Singapore does have laws regulating minimum monthly income for security guards and cleaning employees.
In 2012, Singapore was the 6th most expensive city to live in. This, coupled with wealth inequalities, lack of minimum wage laws and other factors, contributes to the continuation of the poverty cycle in the city.
Singapore has progressive taxation, so anyone with an income of less than $20,000 is exempt from taxation. However, the cost of living in Singapore also needs to be considered when looking at this minimum income.
Poverty in Singapore disproportionately affects the elderly. While Singapore as a whole has increased 43.45 percent in the number of families relying on government assistance between 2012 and 2015, residents over the age of 60 saw a 74.32 percent increase in poverty.
Another of the facts about poverty in Singapore regarding age is 5 percent of young Singaporeans under 30 are unemployed. Many others cannot find jobs with sufficient wages because of the lack of minimum wage laws in the country.
Many young Singaporeans rely on financial aid from the government. According to the Singapore Ministry of Social and Financial Development, in 2015, 5,644 households with applications younger than 35 years old received short or medium term financial aid.
According to Singaporeans Against Poverty, the price of goods and services in Singapore increased 13.1 percent over the last three years.
The government, as well as other independent organizations, have plans to implement a variety of policies that will make finding housing, getting an education and paying taxes more bearable for poor Singaporeans.
