For 8 years, Solidaris has published its barometer each year which analyzes the situation of Belgians. “In 2023, we returned to the same level as in 2019, just before Covid“, summarizes Jean-Pascal Labille, the boss of socialist mutual societies.

But if the “Covid” bracket is closed, the Solidaris barometer nonetheless reveals inequalities. “One in five people say they are afraid of falling into precariousness“, explains Jean-Pascal Labille. It is, he continues, “linked to purchasing power, to the possibility that people have to integrate into society. It is linked to job quality and a serious mental health problem“.

According to Jean-Pascal Labille, “we see that gradually, there are social groups which drop out“. People “live better“, but others “live less well“, summarizes the former minister for whom this situation “is a real problem of social cohesion“Among those who are paying the price of this situation, there are”often women, single-parent families or people unable to work“, explains Jean-Pascal Labille. “These people are dropping out and are finding it more and more difficult to integrate into society.”he continues.
