法国最大的食品援助慈善机构“爱心餐厅”(Restos du Cœur)周一发布的一项研究显示,2018年至2025年,法国生活在极端贫困中的人数增加了37%。
A study published Monday by France’s largest food aid charity Restos du Cœur shows that the number of people living in extreme poverty in France increased by 37 percent between 2018 and 2025.
根据法国慈善机构“爱心餐厅”收集的数据,2018年至2025年,法国生活在极端贫困中的人数增加了37%。
The number of people living in extreme poverty in France has risen by 37 per cent between 2018 and 2025, according to data collected from French charity Restos du Cœur.
一个国际团队于2018年至2025年开展的分析显示,这家慈善机构的550万名受助人陷入了极度艰难的生活处境。
The analysis carried out by an international team between 2018 and 2025, shows how the charity’s 5.5 million beneficiaries have fallen into extremely precarious situations.
然而,研究作者表示,公共政策对帮助已经陷入极端贫困的人几乎没有什么作用。
However, according to the study's authors, public policies have little effect in helping people who have already fallen into extreme poverty.
法国公共广播 franceinfo 报道,“爱心餐厅”全国理事会成员伊夫·梅里永说:“一个人接受‘爱心餐厅’援助的时间越长,就越难摆脱这种处境。”
"The longer someone has been receiving assistance from Les Restos, the harder it is for them to break free from that situation," Yves Mérillon, a member of the national board of Les Restos du Cœur told public broadcaster franceinfo.
他认为,“预防仍是最有力的工具,公共政策也应当通过采取更有针对性的措施来发挥作用”。
He believes that "prevention remains the most powerful tool, and public policies have a role to play" through more targeted measures.
生存问题 巴黎第十区一家“爱心餐厅”救助站的桌子上,摆着罐装食品、袋装意大利面和饼干。再往里走,在另一个房间,可以看到新鲜的水果和蔬菜。这里还供应酸奶和冷藏乳制品。
Matter of survival On the tables at a Restos du Cœur branch in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, there are tins of food, packets of pasta and biscuits. Further along, in the next room, there is fresh fruit and vegetables. This is also where yoghurts and chilled dairy products are available.
慈善机构警告:法国最贫困的家庭处境正在进一步恶化 玛丽安的购物车里装着“一些牛奶。我还买了一些对虾、土豆。意大利面。还有水果。桃子。以及一包给孩子们当零食吃的玛德琳蛋糕”。她告诉法广。
France's most vulnerable households are getting poorer, warns charity In her shopping trolley, Mariam has collected "some milk. I’ve also got some prawns. I’ve got potatoes. Pasta. I’ve got fruit.
玛丽安靠200欧元、300欧元过活,有时甚至没有任何收入。钱这么少,主要就靠勉强度日。她继续说:“不过,我们的日子很难过。幸好‘爱心餐厅’给了我们很大帮助。”和许多来这里求助的女性一样,玛丽安是一位没有证件的单亲妈妈。最让她难受的是,自己无法让七岁的女儿开心。
Peaches. And a packet of madeleines for my children’s snacks," she tells RFI. Mariam lives on €200, €300, sometimes nothing at all. With so little money, it’s mainly a matter of survival. "But we’re struggling," she continues, "thank goodness the Restos du Cœur help us a lot." Like many women who come here, Mariam is a single mum without papers. What upsets her most is not being able to make her seven-year-old daughter happy. "Sometimes she finds €0.02 or €0.01 and says to me: 'Mum, we’ve got loads of money, why don’t we go to a restaurant?'
“有时她发现0.02欧元或0.01欧元,并对我说:‘妈妈,我们有很多钱,为什么不去餐馆呢?“我告诉她不,那钱不够去餐馆--你至少需要10欧元……”通货膨胀对于在巴黎第十区分支机构从事志愿服务六年的雅克·巴格来说,他对极端贫困的看法是“无法满足食物和住房基本需求的人。“换句话说,我们在这里看到并分发食物的大多数人都是住在紧急住宿中心、社会住房甚至街上的人,”他解释道。
I tell her no, that’s not enough money to go to a restaurant – you need at least €10…" Inflation For Jacques Bagge, who has been volunteering for six years at the branch in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, his view of extreme poverty is "people who are unable to meet their basic needs for food and housing." "In other words, most of the people we see here and to whom we distribute food are those who are staying in emergency accommodation centres, social housing or even on the streets," he explains.
Republished du CÜur的研究显示,2018年至2025年间,获得住宿的困难激增了62%。法国每200人中就有一人无家可归,流落街头或无家可归。
The study by Restos du Cœur reveals that difficulties in securing accommodation have soared by 62 per cent between 2018 and 2025. One in every 200 people in France is homeless, living on the streets or without their own home.
研究指出,在接受Republishdu CÜur支持的人中,50%的人居住在市中心,“自2018年以来无家可归人数增加的52%是通货膨胀造成的”。
Among those receiving support from Restos du Cœur, 50 percent live in city centres and "inflation is responsible for 52 percent of the rise in homelessness since 2018," the study notes.
随着死亡人数和儿童贫困率飙升,法国面临无家可归危机。“我们在巴黎,那里的住房条件很困难,因为租金非常高,”巴格解释道。
France faces homelessness crisis as deaths and child poverty soar "We’re in Paris, where housing conditions are difficult because rents are very high," explains Bagge.
他补充说:“因此,有许多学生为了能够支付他们的房租或住宿费--有时是合租公寓,有时是几个人合租的公寓--被迫依靠外界的帮助来养活自己。”
"And so there are many students who, in order to be able to pay for their room or accommodation – sometimes in a shared flat, or a flat shared by several people – are forced to rely on outside help to feed themselves," he adds.
帕特里斯是一名25岁的学生,拥有多个学位,住在一个收入很低的合租公寓里。
Patrice, a 25-year-old student with multiple degrees, lives in a shared flat on a very low income. "I’d say I’m on less than €600.
“我说我的钱不到600欧元。一旦付了房租,我每个月就剩下不到200欧元了。我们在这里得到的食物援助确实有帮助;它减轻了压力,”学生说道,手里拿着一盒牛奶和一包薯片。
Once the rent’s paid, I’m left with less than €200 a month. The food aid we’re given here really helps; it takes the pressure off," says the student, a carton of milk and a packet of crisps in his hands.
此外,我刚完成学业,正在找工作,情况糟透了。你一大早起来,投出一大堆申请,结果毫无音讯——完全没回复。
"And on top of that, I’ve just finished my studies, so I’m looking for a job and it’s awful. You get up in the morning, send out loads of applications and nothing – no replies at all."
但也有在职贫困人口。30岁的萨姆如果没有食物援助根本无法维持生计。“我来这儿几年了,所以这有点像去商店买东西,”他承认道,并补充说这些援助能让他“撑三四天。”
But there are also the working poor. Sam, a 30-year-old cannot get by without food aid. "I’ve been coming here for a few years now, so it’s become a bit like going to the shops," he admits, adding that the aid can last him "three or four days."
“摆脱极端贫困非常困难” 在最面临贫困风险的人群中,0至9岁的儿童占面临住房不安全人群的近25%。其中大多数来自单亲家庭,且由单身母亲担任家长。
'Escaping extreme poverty is very difficult' Among those most at risk of poverty, children aged 0 to 9 account for nearly 25 percent of people experiencing housing insecurity. The majority comes from single-parent families headed by single mothers.
在2024-2025年,在“爱心餐厅”接受援助的人群中,每两人就有一人年龄在25岁以下,接受援助的家庭中有23%是单亲家庭。
In 2024-2025, one in two people receiving aid at the Restos du coeur was under 25, and 23 percent of the families receiving aid were single-parent households.
志愿者弗朗西娜·里沃证实了该研究的发现:摆脱极端贫困非常困难。
Francine Rivaud, a volunteer, confirms what the study shows: it is very difficult to escape extreme poverty.
“首先,因为我们在这里看到的通常是无法工作的女性。她们没有合法证件,但有孩子,孩子要上学。我们绝对必须帮助这些孩子,以免下一代陷入这种贫困,”她警告道。
"Firstly, because it’s generally women we see here who are unable to work. They don’t have the right papers, but they have children, and those children go to school. It’s absolutely essential that we help these children so that the next generation doesn’t end up in this poverty," she warns.
中午到了,施粥所即将关门。阿米拉带着还含着奶嘴的小儿子前来。她说自己不一定能吃饱无所谓,重要的是她的孩子绝不能被拒之门外,挨饿受冻。
It’s midday, and the soup kitchen is about to close. Amira has come with her little boy, who has a dummy in his mouth. She says it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t always get enough to eat. What matters to her is that her child is never denied a meal.
