The real per capita gross disposable income of households in Italy in 2024 was slightly up on 2023 but still lower than in 2008, the only case in Europe together with Greece.

The Studio

This is what emerges from the just-published Eurostat Report on real incomes, according to which, if 2008 is taken as 100, Italy's disposable household income in 2024 will stand at 95.97 compared to 114.29 for the EU-27 and 109.40 for the euro area.

The international comparison

In Germany, the index in 2024 rose to 116.20, in France to 113.45, and in Spain to 103.94. In Italy, the index rose from 94.64 in 2023, but less rapidly than in the larger countries.

L’indicatore

The indicator is calculated as the unadjusted gross disposable income of households and non-profit institutions serving households divided by the price deflator of household final consumption expenditure and the total resident population.

Italy's trend

L’Italia, dopo esser scesa nel 2013 all’88,68% del reddito disponibile rispetto al 2008 ha avuto un lieve recupero fino al 2019 per poi riscendere nell’anno della pandemia al 90,48% Dopo un rimbalzo nel 2021 al 94,06% è salita lentamente fino al 95,97% del 2024. Ma se dal 2020 l’andamento è in linea con gli altri Paesi con circa 5,5 punti recuperati in quattro anni, rispetto ai redditi del 2008 la distanza è ancora ampia. Nell’anno della pandemia, infatti, a 12 anni dalla crisi del 2008, l’area Euro aveva ampiamente recuperato i livelli di reddito (con il 104,03%) mentre l’Italia era al 90,48%. Peggio dell’Italia ha fatto solo la Grecia con l’84,13% nel 2024 del reddito disponile lordo delle famiglie rispetto al 2008 ma il tonfo per questo Paese era stato peggiore con oltre 35 punti da recuperare dal 2013.

People poor though working

Italy also remains in difficulty in the percentage of people who are poor despite working, with 10.2 per cent, slightly up on 2023 (9.9 per cent), a percentage two points higher than the EU average and higher than that of France (8.3 per cent) and Germany (6.5 per cent). The government intervened with the manoeuvre by tax-freeing contractual increases, but the issue is also linked to precariousness and the widespread use of part-time work.
