social security benefits Rotterdam

I have just found this info about young people in Rotterdam on social security benefits the data is from 2007 though with the credit crunch this will no doubt be higher now how is this influencing cultural heritage? if the paragraph i posted earlier is correct then the less money people have there cultural heritage should play a larger role in there lives?


Dependency rate also high in Rotterdam

The municipalities with the highest proportions of young social security claimants are found in the provinces of Groningen, Drenthe and Limburg. In municipalities with more than one hundred thousand residents, Rotterdam has the highest amount of young social security recipients (3.9 percent). In absolute terms, Rotterdam also tops the list with over 3 thousand young people involved. In Reiderland, for example, 30 young people were living on social security benefits last year.
