“This Year Number Of Discontented With Their Incomes To Be Multiplied By Four”

The Belarusians’ negative sentiments will only grow.

The National Statistics Committee has published the data for the household surveys in 2015. The document says that in 2015, 13.7% of households indicated their dissatisfaction with the level of cash income. Moreover, among the families, who are raising two or more children under 18 years, the number of dissatisfied with the budget exceeds 20%.

Chairman of the Belarusian Trade Union of Radio Electronic Industry Workers Henadz Fiadynich is very skeptical about the National Statistics Committee’s data:

– This is ridiculous. Does it mean that the other 86% are satisfied with everything? Of course, we have those who are satisfied with their salary even in today's reality – bank employees, employees of the Park of High Technologies. And let’s take the industry or agriculture. Here, with a few exceptions, workers are dissatisfied with their income. Wages have fallen down, how can one be happy in such a situation? And I would agree with the fact that people do not dare to voice their displeasure.

The trade union leader predicts that the Belarusians’ negative sentiments will only grow, Salidarnasts writes. According to him, the actual number of families dissatisfied with their incomes in 2015 was twice as high as the official figures.

– And in 2016 this number can definitely be multiplied by four, – the trade union leader said.

“I Know One Family, Who Is Very Happy”

The National Statistics Committee results are being actively looked upon on the talks.by discussion platform:

“The main thing is that 83% are satisfied.”

“How could one be theoretically happy with a salary of $ 200-300, with such kind of prices and further economic recession? It's absurd!“

“I know one very happy family, which is absolutely satisfied ...”.

“They’ve made me laugh. 60 percent of Belarusian population get a 3 million salary. And everyone is happy. Charkashkvarka (a slice of fried bacon and a glass of vodka) rules.”
