Caritas: 7,5 milioni di poveri, manca un piano di lotta 07/25/2007 Sono 7 milioni e 577 mila persone che in Italia vivono in condizioni di povertà: rappresentano il 13,1% della popolazione e fanno parte di 2 milioni 585 mila famiglie (l'11,1% del totale). E quanto emerge dal VII Rapporto della Caritas Italiana, che verrà pubblicato a ottobre, e di cui Caritas Italiana e Fondazione Zancan hanno fornito oggi alcune anticipazioni affinchè nella Finanziaria vengano poste in atto politiche organiche di lotta alla povertà. Il tasso di povertà non cala e poveri non sono solo tra i disoccupati e i migranti, ma sono anche diplomati, famiglie monoreddito con più figli, pensionati e specialmente tra le donne. Mons. Pasini ha ricordato che "l’Italia manca di un piano di lotta alla povertà: la storia del nostro Paese è come disseminata di ‘buone intenzioni' mai tradotte in un piano organico di lotta alla povertà".

Dpef: soddisfazione degli Stati generali della cooperazione 07/10/2007 "Soddisfazione verso gli impegni economici espressi sull’Aiuto Pubblico allo Sviluppo ed sulla cooperazione internazionale". E' il giudizio degli Stati Generali della Solidarietà e della Cooperazione Internazionale dopo un’attenta analisi e valutazione del Documento di Programmazione Economica e Finanziaria (Dpef) presentato la scorsa settimana dal Governo italiano. "L’aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo è entrato a chiare lettere nel decreto, rispondendo alle sollecitazioni più volte fatte dal mondo della solidarietà e della cooperazione" - dichiara la coordinatrice degli Stati Generali, Raffaella Chiodo. Il Dpef detta infatti il progressivo innalzamento della percentuale del Pil destinata all’Aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo con l'intento di avvicinarsi il più possibile all'obiettivo dello 0,51%. Positivi i segnali anche rispetto alle questioni ambientali, "ma ancora non c’è una proposta organica".
