Italy had around 3.59 million jobless
households in 2016 - those in which no member is in employment
or draws a work pension, ISTAT said in its annual report on
Wednesday. The national statistics agency said the jobless
households accounted for 13.9% of the total, although this went
up to 22.2% in Italy's less prosperous southern regions. The
number of jobless households in 2008 was 3.172 million - 13.2 of
the total.
