This is the best summary I could come up with:
Poverty is worsening in France with women highlighted as the main victims, according to a report published on Tuesday.
The median income of the people cared for by French charity Secours Catholique stood at €538 per month in 2022, representing a daily budget of €18 to cover all household needs, the organisation said in its report.
The amount corresponds to less than half the poverty line, which Secours Catholique estimated to stand at €1,211 per month in 2022.
When factoring in inflation, which has contributed significantly to driving up food and energy prices, this represents a 7.6% drop in income, according to the charity.
“The poorest people are hit by inflation, the noose is tightening, and deprivation is greater for things that are not necessarily visible, such as heating or food,” Adelaïde Bertrand, general delegate of Secours Catholique, told AFP.
Secours Catholique said it took care of a total of one million people in France last year, who benefited from various services such as food aid and social support.
