Suhteline vaesus näitab elanike osatähtsust, kelle sissetulekud jäävad allapoole mingit osakaalu elanikkonna mediaansissetulekust. Euroopa Liidus ja sealhulgas Eestis loetakse allpool vaesusriski piiri elavateks inimesi, kelle sissetulekud on väiksemad kui 60% sissetulekute mediaanist. Suhtelise vaesuse näitajate arvutamisel kasutatakse Euroopas levinud tarbimiskaale 1; 0,5;0,3.
Suhtelise vaesuse näitajate põhjal ei saa otseselt hinnata inimeste toimetuleku paranemist või halvenemist, sest need ei põhine kulutustel ega tarbimisel. Suhteline vaesus peegeldab sissetulekute jaotust ühiskonnas - see tähendab, et kui inimeste sissetulekud kasvavad, aga sissetulekute jaotus jääb samaks, siis suhtelise vaesuse määr ei muutu.

Relative poverty shows the percentage of inhabitants whose income remains below a certain percentage of the median income of inhabitants. In the European Union and in Estonia, people whose income is lower than 60% of the income median are considered to be living below the level of poverty risk. In calculating the relative poverty indicators, the consumption scales recognised in Europe are used: 1; 0.5; 0.3.
The relative poverty indicators do not allow for a direct evaluation of an improvement or deterioration in people’s subsistence, as these indicators are not based on expenditure or consumption. Relative poverty reflects the distribution of incomes in the society – this means that when the people’s incomes increase while the distribution of incomes remains the same, then the level of relative poverty remains the same. | | English to Estonian: Italian building contract | Source text - English

13.3. Töövõtja on kohustatud parandama kõik garantiiperioodil ilmnevad puudujäägid ja tegematajätmised, mille suhtes Töövõtja ei suuda tõendada, et need ei ole tekkinud tema süül. Pooled lepivad kokku avastatud ja tõendatud puudulike ja/või tegemata tööde tegemiseks antava aja. Garantiiperioodil ilmnevad puudujäägid ja tegematajätmised, mis tõendatult tulenevad Töövõtjast ja/või tema tegevusest või tegevusetusest, kõrvaldatakse hiljemalt nelja (4) nädala jooksul. Kui töö parandamiseks on vaja eriseadmeid, mis ei pruugi olla mainitud tähtaja jooksul kättesaadavad, esitab Töövõtja Kliendile piisava põhjenduse hilinemise kohta ja teostab tööd viivitamatult taoliste seadmete kättesaadavaks muutumisel.
13.4. Kui Töövõtja hoolimata Kliendi kirjalikust nõudest ei paranda avastatud puudujääke kokkulepitud kuupäevaks, või ei alusta puudujääkide kõrvaldamist kokkulepitud kuupäeval, või põikleb mingil viisil puudujääkide kõrvaldamisest kõrvale, on Kliendil õigus tellida puudujääkide kõrvaldamine kolmandatelt osapooltelt Töövõtja kulul. Garantiiperioodi lõppemine ei vabasta Töövõtjat puudujääkide kõrvaldamise kohustusest, kui Klient on kirjalikult teavitanud Töövõtjat puudujääkide avastamisest enne Garantiiperioodi lõppu. |

Born in Tallinn, Estonia, studied in an English language school and worked at a British company right after finishing school. That was where my translator's career really got started.
After that I worked in two insurance companies and while I translated insurance documents, interpreted for a foreign consultant and studied the intricacies of the insurance business, I also studied accounting and banking law on my own to be able to translate financial statements, IPO documents, contracts, notarial deeds and the like. Insurance, accounting and legal texts are my forte until now.
After a while I gave up the nine-to-five world and translated books for a few years, working when I wanted. During that time I also set up relationships with several translation agencies, with whom I work closely together even now. Over the years, I have honed my skills, learning new things in the course of work and studying various subjects on purpose, on my own and with the help of specialists.
By now, I have moved away from the capital and live - already for 9 years - in a beautiful country house in the forest in Estonia with my British husband, four kids, a rotweiler and a very stupid black cat (I like cats, but he really is very stupid!).
I now work as a freelancer for translation agencies and clients both here in Estonia and abroad and I love my job. I can get up at 4 in the morning and do the job so I can go mushroom-picking or swimming or sledging with the kids during the day, or I can clean the house in the morning, work in the afternoon and play computer games or watch films with the kids in the evening. Or - if there's a big urgent job on - I get up early, work all day, the kids look after each other, husband cooks dinner and I get to click "Send" on time.
All in all, I consider myself very lucky to have found a beautiful place to live, a good partner, clever kids (well, I didn't really "find" them!) and a profession I am good at and immensely enjoy.

legal texts, contracts, administration, accounting, business, banking, transit, shipping, insurance, scrap metal, gambling, fiction, arts and literature, management, investment funds, pension, telecommunication, social
accounting (IAS, IFRS), banking (contracts, investment funds, market overviews, Internet banking), insurance (liability, medical, life, TPL, etc.), social (housing, special needs, social sector in figures) projects; fiction: Douglas Adams' 'The HitchHiker's' trilogy, Martin Amis' 'Dead babies' and others. |
