13% of families say income not enough to get by

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 28 - Some 13% of Italian families say their income is not enough to get by due to the cost of living crisis, think tank Nomisma said Tuesday.
    "The rise in living costs that has happened over the last year due to the spike in the prices of goods and services is really hitting the finances of Italian families hard," it said in its Osservatorio "Sguardi Famigliari".
    The 13% of households said their incomes were not enough to cover primary needs like groceries, rents, mortgages and bills.
    A further 43% of households said their income was "barely enough" to meet such basic spending needs. (ANSA).
