Our next Regional Knowledge meeting will take place at Aix-Marseille University's School of Journalism and Communication on December 14 at 10:30 am.
Economic inequalities, access to education, access to healthcare, housing: social inequalities cover a wide range of situations.
In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in 2020, almost 850,000 people, or 17.0% of the population, will live in a household with a standard of living below the poverty line. Preventing and combating poverty requires a detailed understanding of local realities and the life paths of people exposed to precariousness.
What are the different problems faced by people in or close to precarious situations? What is the social situation in 2023 in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur? What are the solidarity policies being implemented by the State, local authorities and associations?
It is vital for the Southern Region to support this reflection at regional level, so as to better define the public policy issues at stake in response to the new needs of its inhabitants.
This Rencontre Connaissance du Territoire will be moderated by Alexandre Joux, university professor at the Aix-Marseille School of Journalism:
- Insee's regional agency will present its "Panorama de la pauvreté : une diversité de situations individuelles et territoriales" (Panorama of poverty: a diversity of individual and territorial situations), published in October 2023.
- The Provence - Alpes - Côte d'Azur Regional Social Observation Unit (DROS) will present its 2023 Social Barometer.
Our keynote speaker will be Nicolas Duvoux, Professor of Sociology at the University of Paris 8 Vincennes Saint Denis, Editor-in-Chief of La Vie des Idées and member of the National Observatory on Poverty and Social Exclusion.
