De krant van Wakker Amsterdam kwam laatst met het rapport over de integratie in Amsterdam. De gebruikelijke lettertjes en cijfertjes passeren weer de revue. Hoeveel personen uit groep X doen aan onderwerp Y. Allemaal weer reuze spannend. En waar moeten we ons nu zorgen over maken? Jaja, de arme allochtonen scholen allemaal weer samen op een plek. En dat staat weer de integratie in de weg. Hoe kan dat nou? Misschien, omdat als je geen geld hebt dat je dan weinig keus hebt waar je woont. Daar waar het het goedkoopst is. En dan is het makkelijk als je bij familie en vrienden woont, want die heb je wel nodig als je weinig geld hebt. Lees het onderstaande van website http://www2.rgu.ac.uk/publicpolicy/introduction/housing.htm#Housing%20and%20deprivation
Many of the key issues in deprivation are housing issues. The Breadline Britain surveys, identifying what people thought of as 'essential', came up with answers like a damp free home, heating, indoor toilet, the use of a bath, home decoration, having enough beds and refrigeration - the last two depending on space.
Deprivation is often concentrated. Slum estates occur in both the private and the public sectors. In the private sector, poor people are brought together through the magic of the market; those least able to exercise choice end up in the places least to be chosen. The same is true, to some extent, of the public sector. Where applicants for social housing are allowed a choice, the people most able to exercise that choice are those who have the highest incomes and the best housing previously. They are the ones who can wait for a better offer. Social segregation by housing officers has contributed to this process in the past, but it equally happens in the private sector where there this has not happened.
However, deprivation is not only concentrated. Most poor people do not live in poor areas; and most of the people who live in these areas are not poor.
Dus praten we nou over integratie of over armoede?
