Calabria disability care funding and economic strain

Overview

In the Calabria region of Italy, officials and families are highlighting a critical shortage of funding for disability care allowances. Regional councilor Enzo Bruno has called for an urgent increase in resources for the ‘assegno di cura’, a monthly 600-euro contribution designed to support family caregivers of individuals with severe disabilities. Currently, insufficient funds distributed through provincial health agencies have left many eligible families, including approximately 240 in the Catanzaro area, unable to access these benefits.

This lack of social assistance coincides with broader economic pressures in the region. Data indicates that Calabrian families are facing significant financial strain, with average consumer debt reaching 7,060 euros, which exceeds the Italian national average. Total consumer credit exposure in Calabria grew by 5% between 2024 and 2025, rising to 5.810 billion euros.
