The data indicates a steady rise in the non means-tested net social protection expenditures in Italy, moving from 24.01% of GDP in 2024 to 24.61% by 2028. This represents an average annual increase of approximately 0.15 percentage points. These values suggest a commitment to maintaining and slightly expanding net social protection without means-testing as a proportion of GDP.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy changes in response to demographic shifts, such as an aging population, which may impact social protection needs.
- Economic factors that might affect GDP growth or shift social protection priorities, potentially altering this forecast.
