People benefitting from unemployment insurance in Italy 2018-2022, by type of benefit

In 2022, 2.56 million people benefitted from unemployment insurance in Italy. In 2020 and 2021, the government enacted a layoff ban for securing employees against the labor crisis brought in by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this prohibition was lifted in 2022, and the number of unemployment insurance recipients significantly increased. Two million employees and 530,000 agricultural workers benefitted from the unemployment allowance. The beneficiaries of the allowance for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers were only 21,000.

2022年，意大利有256万人受益于失业保险。在2020年和2021年，政府为抵御由COVID-19疫情引发的劳动力危机，实施了裁员禁令以保障员工权益。然而，该禁令于2022年被解除，失业保险受助人数显著上升。共有200万员工和53万农业工人享受了失业津贴。而博士及博士后研究员津贴的受益者仅有2.1万人。
