“…Low or intermittent income from work, on the one hand, high incidence of single-income families, especially if there are more children, on the other, are among the main causes of poverty despite work. Above all, the second phenomenon explains why Italy is among the European countries with a relatively high percentage of poor family-based workers, from which the high incidence of child poverty also derives…”
