Single allowance, Bonetti: “Resources and support for families, a revolutionary measure”

"The universal single allowance represents a revolution for Italy: 20 billion euros that will be invested structurally every year for families with children, almost 7 billion additional. We are in the final stages, the data are already very comforting, especially for those professions that previously did not have access to family allowances and were also excluded from deductions. Alongside this measure, law 32/2022, the Family Act, provides for significant investments in educational services starting from nursery schools, in the reform of parental leave and in support for parenting also for freelancers, and also a great incentive for female employment".

Elena Bonetti, Minister for Equal Opportunities and the Family, said this during the conference “The single allowance and the prospects of universal support for the family with fiscal policies”, organized by the National Union of Young Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts with the Industrial Union of Naples – Young Entrepreneurs Group.

“The universal single allowance is a measure to be welcomed because it gives greater economic strength to families – highlighted Matteo De Lise, president of Ungdcec -. But it can also be improved, we believe that its duration could be extended from 21 to 24 years in order to allow young people to complete their studies, perhaps thinking about bonuses to be allocated to students who achieve better university results. Another proposal from the Union concerns the creation of an ad hoc training path for the beneficiary's entry into the world of work, creating unity of purpose with the potential employer".

Ettore Rosato (Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies), stated: "Investing in families means investing in the economy and birth rate, a chronic problem in this country. The universal single allowance is a structural support measure, which will remain even after this period of great crisis, which will benefit families in the long term."

For Claudio Turi (president of the Union of Young Chartered Accountants of Naples): “A topic of great relevance for us professionals, the single allowance is an innovative measure that allows us to rationalize previous benefits and generate greater equity. A measure that should therefore be viewed with extreme favor”.

Costanzo Jannotti Pecci (president of the Industrial Union of Naples), underlined: "We hosted a meeting of great importance, it is a central topic in the development and social policies of a country like Italy, which is experiencing a serious demographic problem. Developing tools to encourage the recovery of the birth rate is fundamental".

Eraldo Turi (president of the Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts of Naples), states: "The hope is that the South has an opportunity to relaunch itself. The gap with the North has not changed in recent decades and so Italy cannot grow".

According to Alessandro Di Ruocco (president of the Young Entrepreneurs Group of the Industrial Union of Naples), “the single allowance is an important tool but there are many other actions that must be carried forward: I am thinking of female employment, school... The journey is still long”.

Leonardo Nesa (Ungdcec national board), highlighted how “The Union wants to strengthen the single allowance: limiting it to the age of 21 may not be enough”, while for Massimiliano Dell'Unto (councillor of the Ungdcec Study Center Foundation), “the Union's objective is to be an active part in the evolution of the country system and for this reason we will continue to bring our proposals to politics”.

Anna Del Sorbo (president of the Small Industry Group of the Industrial Union of Naples), remarks: “Families must be at the center of Italian economic and industrial policy. They represent human capital and must be placed at the forefront of welfare policies that facilitate growth.”

Guido Spiniello (councillor of Ugdcec Naples), underlines how the Union's ambition is “to make oneself credible in the eyes of politics in order to positively influence reforms, to build something useful for the country”.
