"I believe that it should be strongly reiterated that the economic system is closely related to the phenomenon of birth rates. There is also the possibility of quantifying in some way what the impact is: between now and 2042, with the current fertility rates, our country risks losing impressive percentages of GDP, equal to 18%. This is a first datum from which to start". This was stated by the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti in a video message to the States General of the birth rate underway in Rome.
"I believe that in itself a fiscal policy for the family is not the decisive element, but it is certainly important. And what we have already done, but above all we will have to do even when discussing overall tax reform, is to think correctly also from an economic and fiscal point of view about what the concept of disposable income is", added Giorgetti. "The methods can be many", he added: "I believe that the important thing is to discuss it, but above all to put this challenge as a priority of the political agenda".
"Unfortunately I cannot be present at the general states of the birth rate, I would have liked to be able to do so also because a few weeks ago I tried to introduce into the political debate a theme that is epochal, which also concerns the survival of our society and also the sustainability of the economic system". This was stated by the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti in a video message to the States General of the birth rate underway in Rome.
The 'real pension reform is to promote the birth rate' "For many years, politics has been discussing the sustainability of the social security system, which has been answered over time with the usual recipes, namely raising the retirement age, penalties for early retirement. For heaven's sake, all interventions that have made it possible to correct the curve and make the social security system more sustainable, but it is absolutely undeniable that the real pension reform is actually a reform that promotes the birth rate. Without this kind of approach the system does not hold," the minister said. "Already today, if we were to look at the numbers in an aggregate sense, we find that out of 100 pensioners we have 111 employed, in 39 provinces in Italy the number of pensioners is higher than the number of employed. It is not that the solution can simply continue to increase social security contributions, on the contrary we are trying to make relief interventions in the opposite direction", he added.
Salvini, provide for a deduction of 10 thousand euros per child "Providing a deduction of 10 thousand euros each child I think everyone agrees. This is one of the objectives we have set ourselves. Giorgetti has just heard it. It is one of the themes that is close to his heart and from desire we will have to move on to realization. There will always be someone who complains because they have an only child, but choices have to be made." This was declared by the leader of the League and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini at the States General of the birth rate in Rome, responding to those who asked for a comment on tax deductions to promote the birth rate.
"The birth rate is an issue that could unite: we can have different ideas about politics but if in fifty years we will be 11 million less it is not a success for anyone", says the leader of the League. "In the labor decree it is foreseen that trains, fringe benefits, bonuses to those who have children can be exempted from taxes. Then, for example, encouraging the purchase of seven-seater cars is a political choice. Helping women who risk their lives with economic aid combines different political colors, the year made regions governed by the center-right but also in Puglia ".
