Perhaps Italy is not a country for young people but it is certainly a country of pensioners. According to data recently released by the Ministry of Economy and Finance on 2018 tax returns, 39% of taxable income is a pension. Which means that in Italy one income out of three - as "La Stampa" recalled - is a pension, an INPS check. Other than the future and new generations.
How is it that, day after day, we have become a country of old people and pensioners? The fault of the demographic crisis, the fault of the fact that families no longer have children but also the fault of the economic crisis and the job crisis, which the Citizen's Income certainly does not help to find, preferring to subsidize the unemployed in a welfare way.
But which is the Municipality of Italy with the most pensioners and which is the one where there are fewer? Scrolling through the MEF data, incredible realities are discovered. The municipality with the most pensioners is a small Umbrian village – San Benedetto in Perillis – where as much as 77% of the hundred inhabitants who live there are pensioners.
In percentage terms, the place where there are fewer pensioners is a well-known tourist resort, Livigno, in the province of Sondrio, where 86% of taxpayers live on incomes other than retirement
