"The current state, the family bill is outdated” by a series of measures introduced by the 2021 Budget Law and, above all, “by the imminent approval of the Ddl delegating the single and universal check”. This was underlined by the councilor of theParliamentary Budget Office, Alberto Zanardi, during the hearing on the so-called "Family Act", convened by the Social Affairs commission of the Chamber.
After pointing out how the two bills share "basically the same funding", and that the "Family Act" would remain 700 million, considering the resources absorbed by the standard on the single check, Zanardi highlighted that "the potential of the family bill are increased by some lines of intervention explicitly indicated in the " Recovery Plan.
In the current version, the plan "intervenes to support the measures with budgetary effects of a current nature of the Ddl with capital expenditure - added Zanardi - with the aim of bridging the gaps in the supply of public services at a territorial level, overcoming the educational poverty, increase the prospects of young people, increase youth employment and favor the reconciliation between professional and private life, as well as announcing more far-reaching reforms".
According to the Upb Councilor, therefore, "the family bill" and the Recovery Plan "must be considered in an integrated way having regard to the sharing of objectives and part of the interventions and the possible effects on the financial resources that could be made available” through the Plan.
