There are over 563 thousand applications submitted by families for the Inclusion Allowance, of which 88% by former recipients of Citizenship Income.
These are the latest data provided by INPS on the measure that has put the RDC in the attic since the beginning of the year and which will see the start of payments from Friday 26 January.
The first block is that of the approximately 450 thousand applications submitted by January 7, together with the Digital Activation Pact (Pad): the first payments of those who have passed the checks will start next Friday.
The potential audience of the new measure, aimed at households with at least one minor member, disabled or over 60 or included in a care and assistance program of social and health services, is 737 thousand households.
Of the nuclei that have so far made the ADI request, again on the basis of INPS data, almost half are concentrated in two regions, as happened for Citizenship Income: Campania (26.7%) and Sicily (21.8% ).
Following: 9.6% comes from Puglia, 8.1% from Lazio, 7.7% from Calabria and 6.2% from Lombardy.
"The new measures to combat poverty are under attack, with an often forced reading of the data. A serious evaluation takes time: if every single case is exploited, confusion and disorientation is created."
Thus the extraordinary commissioner of the INPS, Micaela Gelera, commented to ANSA on the debate on the new measures, the Inclusion Allowance and the Support for training and work, which have definitively superseded the Citizenship Income, underlining that now "it is the approach is different: today the focus has been on the attempt to build a perspective of social inclusion" for the people and families involved.
"It is right to provide the numbers - he states -, as we have constantly done, in synergy with the other protagonists of this important initiative, but these must be approached with the right interpretation. The approach must be reversed, avoiding comparisons that can generate incorrect interpretations conform to reality.
