Wonder how they’re going to secure the equality of opportunity in this situation.

The limit for relative „poverty“ is 60% of median income. It does not mean absolute poverty which is around 2usd/day according to UN definition. The relative poverty limit is around 1400e/month income (in addition to free apartment) in Finland. The relative definition means there is always people in „relative poverty“, unless everyone has more or less same salary (socialist utopia).
I think that is a bit of a opposition smoke screen talking about „children living in poverty“. That 1400e/month (after taxes) is more than lots of people working full-time earn.

No shit.
Austerity goverments since Reagan and Thatcher never serve any other goal but to increase the gap between rich and poor.

You have a racecar running low on fuel and your solution is to turn the limiter on, then get surprised it can no longer compete.
It can’t not be deliberate. We have more than 50 years of history showing austerity doesn’t solve competitiveness issues.
