Riassunto analitico
The demographic and poverty profile in Italy has changed dramatically since the economic crisis of 2008. The number of the people in absolute poverty increased by 3.5 millions and the population has become progressively older and out of the labour market.
However, the increasing poverty has not affected all the population in the same way; its impact differs depending on the age groups, on the types of families and on territories.
Many scholars recognized that Citizenship Income has been a fundamental barrier to the spread of poverty in our country, especially during the pandemic crisis. The Citizenship Income is a policy measure that aims to fight poverty, inequality, social exclusion and to increase the occupation; it was introduced in Italy after political elections in 2018 and after the establishment of Conte I Government (M5S-Lega Nord), by Law Decree n. 4/2019.
In the empirical part some relationships in the territories of the Metropolitan Town of Bologna will be analyzed; in particular between the variation of the share of beneficiary households of the CI (from 2021 to 2022) and some demographic, economic, social variables.
The aim is to investigate whether there are significant differences between territories with a higher variation of recipients households of the CI and those where the measure is less widespread.
This policy measure has often been criticized for political ideologies, probably without analyzing the results achieved through data. The purpose of the thesis is to bring order between the various aspects of the topic and try to understand what really works and which improvements should be adopted to have better results against poverty.
