Citizenship income favors the birth rate: the INPS study
Citizenship income favors the birth rate: according to INPS, according to which women who benefit from the subsidy have a 1.1% higher probability of having a child than those who have been refused the check.
Carried out by Giuseppe Dachille and Maria De Paola and included in the INPS annual report, the study highlights a lower state of uncertainty on the part of those who receive the income, not so much for the amount collected as “by the presence of a last resort support by the State, aimed at segments of the population plausibly at risk of marginalization and social exclusion “.
According to scholars, in fact, there is “an increased sense of trust in the future”, especially in young families, among those who receive the subsidy.
From the sample examined, 509 thousand women between 16 and 45 who applied for the Rdc by June 2019, a group of 46,513 women with an income just above or just below the threshold was selected to obtain the economic benefit, with a difference € 1,477 more or less than the threshold.
On average, the probability of conceiving a child nine months after the acceptance or rejection of the application for citizenship income is higher than 1.1% among women who benefit from the benefit.
The average age is 31, 51% are resident in the South, while 86 & live in municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants.
