The New ISEE: how will it impact on families and local bodies?

Starting from January 1, 2015 a new Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) has come into force. According to the reform procedure, public utilities must adapt to the new regulation and revise the access thresholds and the ways of sharing the cost of welfare. The distributive and revenue effects of the reform are potentially significant. Nicola Sciclone and Letizia Ravagli (IRPET) will illustrate the novelties of the reform, its effects on Tuscan families and the results of some simulations concerning health and education services, and the right to university studies.
