From the Rdc to the Sfl. From Citizenship Income to Support for training and work . This is the new direction of welfare in which the Sardinians are also trying to navigate, after Giorgia Meloni's Government, in the middle of summer, decided to cut bonuses and subsidies linked to unemployment. "They represent - the Prime Minister has always repeated - a paternalistic vision of Italy because they take away the dignity of those who are in a position to find a job and be an active part of this country".
As with the RDC, the SFL is also a measure managed by the INPS , in synergy with the Ministry of Labour. However, the numbers on the beneficiaries of the new support for training and employment have not yet been obtained from the periodic observatories of the National Insurance Institute. We only know how many so-called RDC tutors have lost the right to social contributions. And from here we can begin to reconstruct the regional context picture, and then explain how the application to obtain the SFL looks like.
In Sardinia, in 2023, there were 49,890 families who received at least one month's citizenship income , for a total of 91,835 citizens, including minors. The average amount of the RDC was 518.17 euros, which placed the island in an intermediate position in the national ranking led by Campania, with an average contribution of 630.92 euros; in Friuli Venezia Giulia, however, the lowest value was recorded, equal to 434.75 euros.
On our island, as in every other region, the Rdc was canceled starting from 1 August 2023. The notices, sent in July by the INPS, formalized the stop to the social measure and simultaneously announced the payment of the seventh and final installment. Fragile families, i.e. those with minors, disabled people or those over 60 in poverty, were excluded from the provision. In these cases, the RDC will continue to be paid until 31 December and will then be replaced by the ADI, the Inclusion Allowance.
On the island, 2023 was not the year of greatest demand for the Rdc. The peak was reached in 2021 with 65,756 beneficiary families , equal to 128,958 people. Average amount: 515.06 euros. In 2022, however, 63,496 residents of Sardinia received at least one month's salary for an audience of 120,968 citizens. Average amount: 513.45 euros. In 2020, however, the families receiving the RDC reached 60,581, for a total of 124,270 people. Average amount: 501.53 euros. In 2019, the first year of activation, they were 46,946 families have obtained citizenship income. In total, 99,880 residents in Sardinia, who received an average subsidy of 470.81 euros.
