Around 7.6 million people in Italy
have suffered a deterioration in their standard of living and
almost two-thirds are worried about the prospects for 2021,
according to a new report released on Monday by the CENSIS
research institute and asset-management firm Tendercapital.
"Five million Italians have trouble putting a decent meal on the
table, 7.6 million have had a deterioration in their standard of
living," the report said.
"60% believe that the loss of their job or income is something
that could regard them next year".
It said the employment rate for men in Italy was 20 percentage
points higher than women.
