Citizens' income (Italy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "citizens' income" (Italian: reddito di cittadinanza) is a social welfare system created in Italy in January 2019.[1][2] Although its name recalls one of a universal basic income, this provision is actually a form of conditional and non-individual guaranteed minimum income.[3][4][5]

The citizens' income was proposed by the Five Star Movement and was approved under the first Conte cabinet.
