San Marino demographic, labor, and digital reforms
Overview
San Marino is addressing structural labor and demographic challenges through a series of legislative and administrative reforms. The nation is facing a significant natural population decline; in the first half of 2026, the gap between births and deaths reached -83, compared to -60 in the previous year. Specifically, births fell by 19.5% during the first six months of 2026, with only 66 births recorded compared to 82 in the same period of 2025. While the total resident population grew slightly to 34,167 by June 30, this was driven by migratory movement rather than natural growth.
To counter these trends, the government has implemented new family laws. Under the new Family Law (No. 141/2026), the state has introduced the Parental Economic Allowance (IEG). This benefit allows one parent to take leave to care for a child under 14 who is hospitalized or has a certified illness lasting more than two days. The allowance applies to both employees and self-employed workers, with compensation rates ranging from 86% to 100% of remuneration depending on the duration of the absence.
As of October 2026, the Institute for Social Security (ISS) has begun applying new provisions regarding maternity and family support, including the ‘Incentivo Bebè’ birth or adoption bonus. The state is also conducting a pilot phase of the Icee, an economic indicator designed to calibrate interventions for minimum income and social tariffs. Additionally, new education regulations for the 2027/2028 academic year include a 30% cap on non-citizen students in certain introductory classes and dedicated funding for linguistic enhancement.
