19% of allowances in the North
The incidence of the South and Islands rises to 72% in terms of people involved. This misalignment, explains Inps, is due to the fact that the average number of family members per household is 2.4 people, with a peak in the south, where the value is 2.5; on the other hand, the average number of people in the household is much lower in the northern regions where it is 2. In the distribution of recipients, the northern regions follow with over 19%, and finally those of the Center with 14%.
Let’s take a step back, in January 2024 the Meloni government abolished the citizenship income, introducing two different measures, the Inclusion Allowance (Adi) as a tool to combat poverty, fragility and social exclusion of vulnerable groups and the Support for training and work (from September 2023) as an active labor policy tool (which also involves Adi activatables). Despite the differences between the measures, therefore, even after the abolition of the citizenship income the South remains the area where the greatest demand is concentrated, a sign of greater social hardship.

In Campania and Sicily the large number of recipients in June
In particular, in the month of June 2026 alone, the beneficiary households of Adi were 690 thousand, equal to almost 1.6 million people, with an average amount paid of 672 euros. The region with the highest number of beneficiaries, as in the days of the Citizenship Income, remains Campania: in June 168 thousand families with 439 thousand people received an average allowance of 725 euros. Sicily follows with 143 thousand households and 367 thousand people who received an average of 711 euros, Puglia with 70 thousand households and 161 thousand people with 673 euros, and Lazio with 57 thousand households, 115 thousand people and an average amount of 658 euros.
Among these 690 thousand families, 251 thousand households have minors in charge, 288 thousand people with disabilities, 366 thousand over sixty, 254 thousand care burdens, 13 thousand people in disadvantaged conditions. It should be noted that in 2026 the pool of beneficiaries was expanded through an intervention on the calculation of Isee, with a higher exemption for the main residence and increases in the equivalence scale for households with children. The extraordinary contribution was extended to households that completed the first cycle of 18 monthly payments in November 2025, and from January 1, 2026, the suspension month between the end of a usage period and renewal was eliminated, ensuring continuity in payment (with the first renewed monthly payment at 50%).
