Change in income due to COVID-19 in Italy 2021, by macro region

The COVID-19 pandemic that first hit Italy in late February 2020 had a massive impact on life in the country. The measures adopted by the Italian government to control the contagion pushed many businesses to stop or radically scale down their activities. According to a survey conducted in April 2021, around 32.5 percent of Italian workers saw their income decreasing during the pandemic. When taking into account only people living in the North East of the country, this figure jumped to 39.7 percent. On the other hand, the income of 16.5 percent of respondents coming from Central Italy increased during this time.

2020年2月下旬首次席卷意大利的COVID-19疫情对该国生活产生了巨大冲击。为控制疫情蔓延，意大利政府采取的措施迫使众多企业暂停或大幅缩减其经营活动。根据2021年4月进行的一项调查，约32.5%的意大利劳动者在疫情期间收入下降。仅考虑该国东北部地区居民的情况，这一比例上升至39.7%。另一方面，来自意大利中部的16.5%受访者在此期间收入有所增加。
