In 2022, it is anticipated that the set of household policies will have reduced inequality (as measured by the GINI index) from 30.4% to 29.6% and poverty risk from 18.6% to 16.6%. According to ISTAT: the IRPEF reform, the single allowance, and other interventions have reduced the risk of poverty for families with minor children, including both married and single parents (-4.3% and -4.2%, respectively), particularly since the introduction of the single check. For one-person families (-2,1%) and individuals over 65 (-1,3%), the reduction is primarily attributable to bonuses and the advance of pension revaluation. For families with no children or only adult children, the risk of poverty remains virtually unchanged or slightly increases. In 2022, the single allowance reduced the risk of poverty by 3.8 percentage points for those aged 0 to 14, 2.5 percentage points for those aged 15 to 24, and 2.4 percentage points for those aged 35 to 44. If we also consider other policies, such as the reform of the personal income tax, bonuses, and the revaluation of pensions, the risk of poverty for all age groups over 24 is reduced even further.
