Government considers increasing mother's bonus and expanding eligibility

The Italian government is considering strengthening the "bonus mamme" for working mothers. Options include increasing the payment or expanding eligibility by lowering the income threshold. The current bonus provides 40 euros per month, totaling 480 euros annually for over 500,000 eligible women. Discussions are ongoing regarding whether to raise the monthly amount or revise the 40,000 euro ISEE limit. Additional proposals include a tax deduction for mothers based on the number of children and making permanent 60 million euros allocated to municipalities for childcare services.
