The political and economic situation in each country affects whether residents are satisfied with their pay. Societies that are younger tend to be more satisfied. Attitudes to topics related to life prospects are related to whether the population is aging or younger and how they see their development in the future. He commented on this on the air of “Hello. Bulgaria” Yanitsa Petkova from “Gallup”.
In the words and very often, dissatisfaction in our country is related to the fact that we compare ourselves with those who are economically more advanced in our country.
According to Dobromir Ivanov, executive director of BESCO, there are several factors that determine Bulgaria becoming a richer country. “One is related to how we use EU funds, whether we like it or not. If we absorb them 100% by 1%, our economy will grow annually. The biggest influencing factor is how we promote investment. Another factor is to increase the added value of people's work and how we use technology and artificial intelligence.
Economist Stoyan Panchev specified that in the current economic situation there is no problem with the working poor in the country. “Most of the poor in Bulgaria are pensioners, according to NSI data. Recently, we have been importing labor from abroad, this suggests that there are no people to work in these industries,” he added. According to him, the year that had a relatively bad impact on income was 2022, when inflation was high. “Last year, we had a growth in household incomes of around 14%. There is a 5% real increase in wages, Panchev also said.
