Schoolbooks, notebooks everything has to be paid. No school in the Netherlands provides in meals. Children go home or bring a lunchbox if they can afgord it. I assume the universities still have a mensa/cantren but the food isn't free.

SEC-S16/W2 - Childhood trauma & incidents- Do they affect a child's life?
It's like in Italy and Spain (maybe Portugal too), but now I'm discovering universities in south Europe are the half expensive than Netherlands. 8000 euros is for private cheap universities, as the public universities cost about 4000 per year, maybe less, depending on the course. But Italian standard salaries are too low, stuck at the year 2000 despite inflation, if nothing has changed lately.

Salaries are everywhere low and many countries even lower while the costs for living & food is higher.
In Italy for example the groceries are cheaper than in Hungary. How is this possible? Better quality too.

I knew services in Hungary are working well, the other way round compared to Italy. In Italy, public offices are mostly delivered to incompetent politicians' relatives and in 12 regions into 20 nothing works (or only few things work). Compared to Italy, East European countries (including Albania, still not in EU) are better places to live in terms of services. I have Italian colleagues who live in Albania and it's almost Heaven, compared to Italy. One of them has 12 children (yes, 12, I'm not kidding...) and she can pay education for all of them. Her firstborn is a veterinary and owns his clinic. In Italy, such a thing is pretty impossible. If you have 12 children and you are a simple workman or a cleaning lady, they only can attend primary school because such a family is too poor to afford even High School. Italian families in such a condition must live on charity to feed so many children. Lately, even a workman family of 4 people lives on Red Cross charity if they don't own the apartment where they live and they didn't inherit from grandparents.

With us hardly no one owns. Renting is normal and those who buy do so with one-3 loans and pay for 40 years or longer unless they die (it's not allowed to take a loan without a life insurrance that pays to the bank) and you will not receive a loan or credit card if your income is too low (x cozts for living - debt) it's all registered and paying off a mobile phone is a loan too.
Poverty increases, no one looks behind the frontdoors, many cannot pay the bills and even the foodbanks are out of food and it's not everyone can go overthere for a small bag of unhealthy food. Jt's by far not what foodbanks in the USA look like.
Many with jobs, shop owners ended up on the streets and more will follow. The average house is not built for large families so it will be hard, if not forbidden, to take in a family in need besides this can also affect your income and the tax you have to pay.
It's good the Army of Salvation and Humanitas still exist but their hands are bound too. The government does give social secure of a few hundred to homeless all they need is a mail address, give you one if you don't have it.
With us hardly no one inherits if you have to pay tax over it. I assume most elderly sell it to pay for the elderly home or some might to avoid paying for it.
Most inherit come with debts meaning it's wiser to say: no, thank you.

Is it forbidden to live various people in a small house? In Italy it's only forbidden to migrants. Migrants are compelled to at least 14mq per inhabitant. Italians (if nothing changes) are allowed to live 14 people per mq. During my parent's time, 20 people used to live in a single room apartment and no government argued (but in any way, cause Second World War many people were too poor to afford a decent house for their family and they used to bear many children, as that friends of my mother that was a family who had 18 children).

May bunk bed help? To save space to add a closet in the bedrooms. Is it difficult to purchase an apartment in Netherlands? To avoid so strict rules.

In average it works this way (unless you have loads of money)
You subscribe to a home cooperation in the area you live.
Each months you can choose 3 places you like to live.
If you are "chosen" and all your paperwork is okay (income, citizenship, ID) you receive an invitement for that place with about 20 others. Next you can decide if it is what you are looking for.
Among those who still want it the one who is the longest on the waitinglist 27 years instead of 20, will 'win'. If it turns out that person's finances are not good enough it goes to #2.
Because of this system it's the best to subscribe as soon as you are 18 😐 with some luck you have a place of your own before you turn 40.
Exceptions before were those with urgencies, mothers with children kicked out or fled because of violent husbands.
Today the policy changed. The homes go to those who think they have the right. Not the own people or European ones. We even throw people, the elderly, entire families, out on the street on behalve of strangers who only seem to complain because of the lack of space and luxury. 🤔
My daughter has a bunkbed but with us these beds are made for little children... ladder and weight able to carry included. She turns 34 and sleeps in a room big enough to place the bed and open the door.
The ceilings of the bedrooms are like you see on attics.
She has 1 meter behind her bed and made her working space there. Her closet with clothing I placed in the living.
We survive, we all do our thing and it works fine.
My son has a room for his own, sleeps on a mattrass on the floor. It's what he prefers. In his room it's not possible to put a bunkbed the ceiling is too low. I think the room is 2.5 x 2 meter at most and my son is over 1.90 tall. 😂
