(ANSA) - Rome, October 30 - People living in southern Italy
were at greatest risk of poverty or social inclusion in 2013,
the national statistics agency said Thursday.
Istat said 46.2% of people living in southern regions faced
poverty or exclusion last year, down 3.7% on 2012.
This compares to a nationwide figure of just over 28%.
Families with three or more children, particularly minors,
or with only one source of income were most at risk, the agency
added.
