Mileuristas
It was in August 2005 when a girl called Carolina wrote and sent a letter to the newspaper El Pais, in which she used the mileurista term (I don’t know if there is a similar term in English).
Maybe the concept already existed in many people’s mind but until that moment nobody had used a name for it.
The mileuristes term applies to the person who was born during the 70's. They are part of the demographic boom of this country and they have had a complicated entry to the working world. One of the most relevant thing is that their salary is not superior to 1.000€ .
The other fundamental thing when describing the mileuristes is the training. They have University career, many times they have masters and postgraduate courses and they speak different languages.
However they find jobs that are below the training they have
One of the big problems that they have is the impossibility to leave parent’s home because of their low salary and the cost for renting or buying an apartment.
I’m sure that we know some young people who they are mileuristes.

Painful and real topic! Well done!
Here are a few things I'd like to comment:
You say:
-It was in August of year 2005
-Maybe the concept was already existed
-to the work’s word
-not superior of 1.000€ .
-that are very under to the formation that they have
-and the large cost for rent or buys an apartment.
I'd say:
-It was in August 2005...
-Maybe the concept already existed
-to the working world
-not superior to €1.000.
-that are below the training they have
-and the cost for renting or buying an apartment.
Please, correct! Thanks!
Hi Latham4,
I didn't know "mileurista" term came up in a reader letter in "El Pais" newspaper.
I think this problem, because for me this is a problem, has been increased because of the euro in this country.
The price of the goods has increased up but wages haven't increased so much as these prices.
Let's see what is it going to happen with this situation, because I think it will turn out into future problems if it is not solved.
hi! interesting blog!
i have listened about this term in the radio.
i think the life of the mileuristas it's difficult nowadays because all the prices are going up. if you want to have a family, eat everyday, buy some clothes, phone, water, internet, the school of the children (if you have) and more things it's very difficult to pass a month with only 1000 euros.
Just some questions that probably will answer mileurista´s situation.
What do we do to avoid bad salaries?
What do we do to avoid bad working conditions?
What do we do when syndicates comment about doing a strike?
What do we do everyday when we see rich people are getting richer and poor people are getting poorer?
Do we buy things to factories which sell very cheap products despite they explote their workers?
From my point of view, worker’s power is not as strong as some years ago.
It's sad but true:
"You won't get a home in your fucking life"
Today, the cost of the flast is getting upper and upper, but we can't afford of paying them. The corruption among the flats is incredible, as the mafia used it to put black money into circulation. But most of the people can't afford of buying a flat, and there will arribe a moment where the cost of the flats will decrease, as there will be a point that anyone would be rich enough to buy a flat. I hope I could life that moment, but I'm afraid I won't.
