A European Commission analysis of
Italy's new anti-poverty 'inclusion cheque' saying it will
actually raise poverty levels is partial, the labour ministry
said Wednesday.
It said the assessment "is based on a study of a partial and
static nature, in the sense that it does not take account of the
dynamics of implementation generated by the new measures and by
the growth of employment in Italy".
The ministry said that a "comprehensive overall evaluation would
probably lead to a more positive analysis".
The ministry recalled that the controversial citizenship wage
basic income had been replaced by the inclusion cheque and
another measure, support for training and employment.
