Rethinking Italy’s Citizens’ Income
Measures to counter poverty, from the Inclusion Income to the Citizens’ Income, and active labor policies are marked by rough and fragmented paths, also due to the administrative decentralization that delegates to the Regions the task of promoting initiatives for work. Often penalized by the lack of coordination at the national level, such measures prove to be ineffective, fueling controversies and manipulations. The failure of the navigators is the tip of an iceberg that signals the presence of long-standing and complex problems that the abolition of the Citizens’ Income does not, in itself, help to solve.
