Citizenship income. A review since its inception

Abstract

Since its inception, Citizenship Income has been at the center of a lively political and media debate which has become increasingly heated over time. The purposes of the Citizenship income -RDC- proved, as is known, immediately to be much more complex and ambitious, due to its dual articulation as a "fundamental measure of active labor policy to guarantee the right to work" , and to "contrast poverty, inequality and social exclusion". It seems clear that an overall assessment on the implementation of the citizen's income first and then of the inclusion income, in the three-year life of the RDC and in the first two years of the social inclusion income, cannot ignore the contextualisation in the system in which they are are found to be operating.
