Prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, almost 1.7 million families were living in absolute poverty. For the first time after four years, the share of families in absolute poverty is reduced, however, it still remains at levels significantly higher than those before the economic crisis. As the pandemic hit extremely hard in Italy, these numbers will likely have been increased.
