is a growing concentration of wealth and inequality in income distribution in Italy .
The data emerging from the report, "The Wealth of Italian households" of the Bank of Italy report confirms the growing heterogeneity in the distribution of resources in our nation and a progressive deterioration in economic conditions of a good slice of the population.
According to the analysis, 45% of the total wealth of Italian households is in the hands of 10% of households, while the poorest half has to settle for 10%!
The trend of polarization is also confirmed by other data: the number of households with negative net wealth at the end of 2008 stood at 3.2 percent, a slight but steady growth since 2000. The average debt has actually increased by 29% in recent years.
Taking into account the effects of the current economic crisis, probably not yet fully visible, are destined to worsen, the gap, we are sure, will expand further!
