The Survey on Living Conditions and Income, carried out in 2025 on income from the previous year, indicates that 15.4% of people were at-risk-of-poverty in 2024, 1.2 percentage points (pp) less than in 2023. The at-risk-of-poverty rate in 2024 corresponded to the proportion of inhabitants with net monetary income per adult equivalent of less than €8,679 (€723 per month).

Between 2023 and 2024, the reduction in poverty extended to all age groups, but more markedly to the elderly population (down 3.3 pp).

The at-risk-of-poverty decreased both for the employed population, from 9.2% in 2023 to 8.6% in 2024, and for the unemployed population, from 44.3% in 2023 to 42.6% in 2024.

Social transfers related to illness and disability, family, unemployment, and social inclusion contributed to a reduction in the risk of poverty by 5.4 pp (from 20.8% to 15.4%), a contribution higher than that recorded in the previous year (4.8 pp).

In 2025 (2024 income), 1,995 thousand people were at-risk-of-poverty or social exclusion. Consequently, the at-risk-of-poverty or social exclusion rate reached 18.6%, reflecting a decrease compared to 2024 (19.7%), consistent with what was observed in two of the three basic indicators – poverty and material and social deprivation.

Inequality decreased in 2024: the Gini coefficient registered a value of 30.9% (31.9% in the previous year) and the S80/S20 ratio decreased from 5.2 in 2023 to 4.9 in 2024.
