The sharp increases that had been
seen on purchases of vouchers for occasional work hours has
leveled out following a new regulation that went into effect
last October, requiring those who purchase the vouchers to
register information on their workers and hours, said Italian
pensions and social security agency INPS on Thursday.
It said 11.4 million vouchers were sold in December 2016, in
line with sales in December 2015 when 11.5 million vouchers were
sold.
Last year a total of 133.8 million vouchers were sold, a
23.9% increase on 2015 figures, INPS said, adding that since
October there has been a "significant decrease".
