Hey guys, welcome back to our blog. Still, an amazing week to go by. Hope you guys are doing well as well.
Alright, as far as we concerned, some of the issues are still under the limelight. We are still dealing with several issues in Sabah for instance, poverty, illegals and etc. But don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the efforts by the government. They have done a great job. *Applause*
So let's see what's happening around the globe. I was so intrigued to know what is happening in UK, specifically. I found this article very useful for our reference or maybe, Sabah can learn from that as well. Good luck yo!
*Below are the latest poverty gap in London recently*
The report itself is a comprehensive guide through every aspect of UK
life, from public spending and debt, through educational costs and
Carbon emissions.
In particular, the cost of housing was
highlighted. Relative to salaries, it has risen from six times the
annual salary of those in their 20s in 2000 to 10 times larger by 2010,
while the number of new homes built in the UK – which could relieve
pressure on house prices and rent by alleviating demand – has also
fallen sharply. Plus youth unemployment versus overall joblessness was
another key factor highlighted in the study: in 1990, young people were
50% more likely to be unemployed than the typical adult. By 2010, they
were two-and-a-half times more likely to be jobless.
So what say you?
