"For the first 10 months of 2022, the price-dynamics gap against contractual salaries averaged out to be 7%. The possibility of a dramatic drop in purchasing power, particularly connected to the impact of the timing of contract renewals - longer in industries with low-income levels - would surely be heightened for families with tight budgets, who are also suffering more from the quick acceleration of inflation." This is the warning issued yesterday by Gian Carlo Blangiardo, president of ISTAT, as heard by the joint budget committees of the House and Senate. During the hearing, the head of the national institute of statistics addressed the subject of citizenship income, a metric that was significantly changed for this maneuver. "Estimates suggest that 846 thousand people, or little over one beneficiary out of five, are at risk of having the length of their benefit cut short; however, their incidence increases to nearly a third if we include just the beneficiaries aged 18 to 59 years old, as explained by Blangiardo. As anticipated, the decrease in length would mostly affect small families (including more than half of the single persons) and the male component, as well as almost half of the beneficiaries aged 45 to 59 years. The subpopulation susceptible to decrease in length also includes a third of the RdC beneficiaries between the ages of 18 and 29 who are unemployed and has somewhat higher levels of education than the rest beneficiaries in the same age group ".
