Lazio Introduces Family Factor Law: A New Economic Indicator for Social Services

In Lazio, the Family Factor is now law: the newly approved regulation at Pisana defines an additional economic indicator that, during the experimental phase, will impact the fees of summer camps and school transportation rates, with the goal of applying it to an increasingly larger number of services and benefits. This was announced in a statement by Chiara Iannarelli, regional councilor of Lazio (Brothers of Italy). This new law provides criteria more closely aligned with the actual family burdens, considering the number of children and dependents with disabilities, the needs of vulnerable and single-income families, single-parent families - adds Iannarelli - A measure in which, finally, the family is recognized and supported, mitigating the effects of the economic crisis and extending a hand to those living alone. It represents a true cultural revolution that places the dimensions of citizens' needs at its foundation, overcoming the often penalizing ISEE tool. A new welfare policy that rationalizes public spending and integrates assistance policies with real measures capable of improving equity in access to services and promoting birth rates, concludes Iannarelli.
