Portugal tem falta de literacia?E qualidade de vida?






Agências internacionais continuam a "dourar a pílula" de forma dissociada de descolada da realidade sob uma tónica condescendente como se pode ler no "Better Life Index" da OCDE:


"How’s Life?

Portugal has made significant progress over the last few years in modernising its economy and improving the living standards of its citizenshowever the global financial crisis has surely weakened its growth. Portugal performs in only overall few measures of well-being, as shown by the fact that it ranks lower or close to the average in a large number of topics in the Better Life Index.(...)!

Então em que ficamos? Continua-se, esquizoidemente, a dizer tudo e o seu contrário. Nem os dados factuais estão actualizados nestes relatórios de show off. 
"Better Life"? "Better" para quem?
E depois continua:
"Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In Portugal, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 18 806 USD a year, less than the OECD average of 23 938 USD a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn nearly six times as much as the bottom 20%."
Dinheiro compra felicidade sim e compra, tambem saúde, liberdade, esperança e DIGNIDADE. 
Tudo itens de qualidade de vida em escassez por aqui. 
Mas o chorrilho de falsidades e deturpações continua:
"Having a good education is an important requisite for finding a job. In Portugal, 35% of adults aged 25-64 have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree, much lower than the OECD average of 75% and one of the lowest rates amongst OECD countries".
