Fears about one's existence despite having a job? This is no longer a rarity in Europe. Around a third of all employees live in uncertainty. Although they have work, sometimes even several jobs at the same time, they can barely make ends meet. Inflation and the energy crisis are hitting them particularly hard.

This is no longer a rarity in Europe. Around a third of all employees live in uncertainty. Housing is becoming more and more of a luxury. Although they have work, sometimes even several jobs at the same time, they can barely make ends meet. They form a new social class that economists call the "precariat". The social gap is getting wider and wider The inflation and energy crisis are hitting the poorer classes particularly hard. Their growing fear of poverty is leading to a feeling of social exclusion and also to doubts about democracy. Social protest movements are increasingly being used by right-wing populist parties for their own purposes. The gap between rich and poor is not only growing in Germany or France. Even in Sweden, which many still see as a social paradise, the social gap is widening. One in five pensioners there lives below the poverty line, and women are particularly affected. In Spain, more than half of those under 30 are in precarious employment. Is Europe's social peace in danger? What explosiveness lies in the new class of the precariat? What is the state of Europe's social peace? And how could the great uncertainty and polarization of the political system be counteracted? Katharina Wolff and Valentin Thurn explore these questions in the documentary "Poor despite working - The crisis of the middle class" and accompany young and old people from various European countries in their everyday lives in precarious society.
