Some 33.6% of Italian pensioners have
to get by on less than 1,000 euros a month, pensions and social
security agency INPS said Thursday.
In its annual report, INPS added that around 1.5 million
pensioners get a maximum of 500 euros in their monthly cheque.
Women with children on average get smaller cheques than those
without children, by some 5,700 euros a year.
The COVID pandemic and furloughs and lay-off aid have resulted
in payroll staff getting pay packets an average 300 euros a
month lighter, INPS said.
