L'obiettivo del lavoro è verificare l'impatto delle misure di sostegno al reddito nel contenere gli effetti della crisi economica durante la pandemia. L'analisi mostra un aumento maggiore dei livelli di reddito medio per i sussidi lavorativi rispetto a quelli assistenziali che sono concentrati nel quinto più povero. Anche la disuguaglianza migliora, rispetto alla situazione senza i sussidi, in misura maggiore per i sostegni al reddito da lavoro. Concentrandosi sulle famiglie più fragili, si osserva che il RdC svolge un ruolo importante nell'uscita dalla povertà e nell'attenuarne la gravità.

The Ageing Working Group (AWG) assesses the long-term sustainability of public finances by presenting a set of public expenditure projections for all Member States, including projections on pensions. These projections are based on demographic forecasts and agreed assumptions on key economic variables. The adequacy and sustainability of pensions are, however, two sides of the same coin and a full assessment of pensions therefore requires integration. This paper applies the dynamic micro-simulation model MIDAS to assess the consequences of the AWG projections and assumptions on the future adequacy of public pensions in Belgium, Germany and Italy. A comparison of the simulation results suggests that the impact of the parametric pension reform in Belgium and Germany and the systemic reform in Italy on (re) distribution and the risk of low-income go in the same direction, but that the magnitudes differ. Indeed, the impact is stronger in Italy than in Belgium and Germany. In the latter especially, important changes safeguarding the sustainability of the pension system seem to have had a relatively small impact on the risk of low-income among pension benefit recipients in particular.
