The Annex on equitable and sustainable well-being indicators to the 2023 DEF, drafted by the Department of the Treasury, this year at its seventh edition, is available on line.

The Annex has been transmitted to the competent parliamentary authorities, in application of Article 10, paragraph 10a, of Law No. 196 of 2009, as amended by Law no. 163 of 2016.

The document updates the analysis presented in the BES 2023 Report, sent to Parliament on 28 February 2023. The BES 2023 Report described up to 2021 the performance of the twelve indicators (dashboard) that monitor the eight domains of equitable and sustainable well-being and, in light of the measures contained in the 2023 Budget Law, presented forecasts for most indicators over the four-year period 2022-2025.

The ESW Annex to the DEF 2023, based on the latest data or preliminary estimates provided by Istat by 31 March, updates the analysis of the performance of the twelve indicators presented in the BES 2023 Report by including data for 2022 and forecasts for the 2023-2026 period, taking into account the new macroeconomic forecast contained within the DEF.

The result is an updated panorama of the state of well-being of the country measured in terms of the ESW indicators. These include adjusted gross disposable income per capita; disposable income inequality; absolute poverty index, healthy life expectancy at birth, excess weight, early leaving from education and training, non-participation rate by gender; ratio of employment rate for women 25-49 years old with pre-school age children to the employment rate of women aged 25-49 without children, predatory crime, efficiency of civil justice, emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases per capita, illegal building rate.

The annex also contains two focuses: i) ‘The potential distributive effects of social bonuses for natural gas and electricity for households in 2023’ and ii) ‘The evolution of the electricity generation mix in recent years’.
