The average poverty rate is 15.4%. In nine of the federal states poverty decreased. But, the states with the largest population (Bavaria and Nord Rhine Westphalia) were confronted in 2014 with a poverty increase. Most at risk are singles with children, unemployed and pensioners. Observers call the inequality in wages one of the main causes: low wages are no longer connected to the general wage trend of the higher income group. Besides, capital income has become more important than wage labour.          \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.dw.com\u002Fen\u002Fmassive-rich-poor-gap-in-german-society …   \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">German: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.zeit.de\u002Fwirtschaft\u002F2016-02\u002Farmut-deutschland-2016-paritaetische …    \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poverty 2016 report (in German): http:\u002F\u002Fwww.der-paritaetische.de\u002Findex …   \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
