Italy is reversing citizens' money: What Germany can learn from it. The number of poor people in Italy rose to a record high of almost ten percent last year.
Single people received 6,000 euros a year, while two or more adults with four or more children only received 12,600 euros. In Italy, too, there is a clear demographic trend towards an aging population, so that the generational contract is crumbling there too. In Germany, the question arose as to whether working in the low-wage sector was actually still worthwhile.
