1. Eapn capacity building meeting 27 sept 2012 Presentation by Eapn Italy
Nicoletta Teodosi

2. How is poverty meauserd in Italy
EU- SILC (STATISTIC ON INCOME AND LIVING CONDITION)
THE DATA ARE BOTH NATIONAL AND REGIONAL
BY ISTAT (NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STATISTIC)

3. Does this measurement capture the reality
WHAT MEASURE? = ADEQUACY OF RESSOURCES OF 1 FAMILY
WHAT IS ADEQUATE? = WHERE IT LIVING, WHO IS THE ANALISYS OBJECT, THE DIMENSION, ECT.
THE DEBATE NOW: EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MEASUREMENT…
THE DEBATE RUNS ON THIS QUESTION: HOW CAN THE RELATIVE POVERTY BEING THE SAME DURING THE LAST 10 YEARS?

4. SOME DATA RELATIVE POVERTY 2011 = 11.1% RELATIVE POVERTY 2001 = 11%
EXTREME POVERTY 2011 = 5 - 7%
THRESHOLD 2011 = 1.011,00 FAMILY 2 PERSONS ON DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION
UE = < 60% NATIONAL MEDIAN INCOME

5. How is the national poverty target developed and implemented?
EU 2020 Strategy, reduction of national poverty target – 2.2 million Italy (material deprivation or living in lower job family), were (2010) = 12.9% respect to EU rate
BUT… IS REALLY IMPLEMENTED?

6. Indicators in use in Italy by the government (by NRF 2012)
Poverty risk (60% lower than median income) after the social transfer = 18,2% (I), 16,1% (EU)
Severe material deprivation = 7% (I), 8,1% (EU)
Lower job family = 10,2% (I), 10% (EU)
3 % of people living in lower job family = 10,2% (I), 10% (EU)

7. Data used in public debate
How to reach this target will be reconsidered during the mid term Europe Strategy 2020 
Before that, Italy will need to build a national data system to monitor and plan the social actions to cross social data bases, fiscal, and social security (source NRF 2012)
Build a national strategy (politcs) and policy in cooperation with regional level

8. Are they EU indicators?
YES AND NATIONAL AND REGIONAL

9. Inidcators used for the italian poverty target
RELATIVE POVERTY
EXTREME POVERTY = PANEL OF PRODUCTS

10. Signal of alert of the efficiency of indictors/data in the reality
THE DEBATE IS RUNNING AT HIGH LEVEL

11. Is Eapn Italy involve in alternative approches?
EACH MEMBER IS INVOLVED IN LOCAL SYSTEM DATA (SOCIAL, POVERTY, YOUTH, EMPLOYMENT, SOCIAL COHESION…)
NOT AT NATIONAL LEVEL

12. How the poverty target indicators could be improved
IT HAVE TO MAKE IT EASIER THE USE OF THE INDICATORS AT META-LEVEL
TO SETTLE A SET OF SOCIAL MINIMUM STANDARD TO AVOID AND PREVENT THE RISK OF POVERTY
INTEGRATION OF DATA FROM HEALTHCARE, SOCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM, EDUCATION, TRAINING…
TO BUILD A COORDINATED STRATEGY AGAINST POVERTY, THERE ISN’T A NATIONAL ACTION PLAN AGAINST POVERTY REALLY
