Many Germans cannot afford to travel

According to the report of the international group Tasnim News Agency, citing the German newspaper Tagus Spiegel, the information Presented by the European Statistics Office (Eurostat), it shows that many German people are currently enjoying the Easter holiday, and of course, for some, it is not possible to pay for this holiday.

The results of this The survey shows that not all people in this country can afford to spend a few days on a vacation. According to data from the European Union’s statistics agency (Eurostat), 22.6 percent of Germans do not have enough money for even a one-week vacation trip a year. Sahra Wagenknecht, a member of the German Parliament, has asked the Federal Statistics Office for an explanation.

Accordingly, this ratio is the highest for single people with children at 43.2%. But even among families with two adults and three or more children (31.3 percent), a higher-than-average number can’t afford a week of vacation travel.

Statistics show that the proportion of the population who take a vacation A week is too expensive for them increased by 0.4% from 2022 to 2023. Overall, single people (30.4 percent) are more likely than couples (16.8 percent) to have little money for vacations, the figures show. These values ​​have also increased slightly.

In general, this also applies to families without children who cannot afford vacation travel, and this ratio has increased from 21.1 to 22.0 percent. For households with children, this ratio decreased slightly from 23.7 to 23.5 percent, but was still above the average.

Wagenknecht said: This development is shameful. He added: “Almost one out of four people cannot rest even for a week.” Wagen Knecht, who is the head of the New Alliance Party (BSW), in this regard, strongly criticized the German coalition government known as the Traffic Light under the leadership of Olaf Schultz and said: The federal government has made millions of citizens poorer. Wagenknecht called for a turnaround in economic and social policy in Germany.

Eurostat data shows that the proportion of the population who have too little money for a week’s vacation has fluctuated around one-fifth in recent years.

Based on this, these statistics were 22.4% in 2020, 19.9% ​​in 2021, 22.2% the year after that, and 22.6% last year. The high inflation rate after Russia’s attack on Ukraine may have contributed to such a situation among other things.
