According to the latest report for the 2015 Istat in Italy 2.2 million families live with no income from work . The “jobless” households increased from 9.4% 2004 to 14.2% of last year; in the South reach 24.5% , as a nucleus of four. The percentage drops to 8.2% in the North and 11.5% in the Centre. These figures are primarily for the young families , less than adult : For the first incidence has doubled from 6.7% to 13% , for the latter it rose from 12.7% to 15.1% . also increase the nuclei in which to work is only the woman .

the words of President Raise – After a recession “long and deep, with no terms of comparison in history where the Mayor has witnessed in these 90 years,” Italy experiences “a first, important, the time of persistent growth although at low intensity. ” So the president of Istat Giorgio Raise at the presentation of Annual Report Institute. “Compared to previous episodes of cyclical expansion of the economic recovery appears to be characterized by increased brittleness ” – he added.

strong disparities between North and South – in 2015, the poverty in Italy is not decreased and the South the situation is much worse than in the North . In the South the proportion of people seriously deprived is more than three times higher than in the North. In addition, the economic hardship remains at high levels for households headed by a person seeking employment or part-time employment.

inefficient social expenditure: worse only Greece – the Italian system of social protection is among less effective at the European level. Pension spending compresses the rest of social transfers, thereby increasing the risk of poverty. Only in Greece the aid system is less efficient in Italy.

inequality in the distribution of income – inequality in the distribution of the income has increased between 1990 and 2010; it is also the highest increase among the countries for which data are available. The family income is a determining factor in the nost country, the advantage of individuals with starting status “ High ” (ie to 14 years lived in the house owned and who had at least one parent with university education ), compared to those from families in status “ low ” (ie with parents with low education and with house rental) is very strong . The very worrying situation is also present in the UK and Spain.
Differences of general , age , Title and job stability is thus main sources of inequality in the distribution of gross income from work in the market.

Alarm poverty among children, the better the elderly – the relative incidence of poverty for children, that between 1997 and 2011 fluctuated to values ​​around 12%, rose to 19% in 2014 . On the contrary, among the older – that in 1997 an incidence of greater than 5% of poverty to that of minors – there has been a gradual enhancement ( 16.1% 9.8% , which is smaller by 10 percentage points compared to that of the youngest). According to Istat that positive change is due to the inclusion of progressive among over64 generations with higher educational qualifications and best contribution history .

Increase pension expenditure – pension spending had slowed down over the years but has increased to to reach 17.2 % of GDP. According to Istat, regulatory measures launched since the early nineties have failed to stop talela growth substantially, while in fact slowing it down. In addition, in 2014 the new retirement pensioners focus on higher income bracket : they therefore receive performance higher than in 2003, as a result of labor and social security contributions and regular longer careers.

There is a growing public health expenditure , decrease hospitalizations – the public health expenditure has risen from about 75000000000 2001 111 of 2014, with an annual average growth of 5 , 5% in the period 2001-2008 and broadly stable between 2009 and 2014. hospital expenditure is the one that has most affected by the contraction observed in ‘ last period: grown from 2001 to 2008, then decreased from 2009 to 2014 by almost l ‘% 1 year. The number of admissions has decreased: for the period 2009-2014 the average annual decline was 4% . Therefore, it underlines the Istat, the decrease in hospitalizations does not match a proportional reduction of hospital costs: this confirms the trouble that meets the system to cope with the trouble linked to bonds public finance .

juvenile increasingly poor and vulnerable – children and minors are generally increasingly vulnerable : they have paid the highest price of the economic crisis in Italy. The relative incidence of poverty for children has in fact reached the 19% in 2014. Often, this vulnerability is related to the parents’ difficulty in supporting the economic weight of the first stage of the family life cycle, following job opportunities scarce and precarious . In addition, notes the Mayor, for children at risk of being poor is often associated with the geographical distribution of residence and the qualifications of the principal person in the family. In particular, the lower the South and those living in households headed by a person with at most a primary school present a risk of relative poverty four times than the residents in the North and those living with a contact person graduated.
