The national agency said that, while disposable gross income increased 1.6% in nominal terms, this translated into an increase of just 0.5% in terms of purchase power - down from 1.2% in 2016 and 1.3% in 2015. Consumer spending increased by 2.6%, causing a drop of 0.9 of a point of the propensity to save to 7.7%. In a summary of the 2018 report, with data on 2017, it is noted that income inequality and absolute poverty have increased. The latter, according to preliminary estimates in 2017, affects 6.9% of households and 8.3% of residents (from 6.3% and 7.9% in 2016, respectively), almost 1.8 million households and 5 million individuals in absolute terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgazzettadelsud.it\u002Fspeciali\u002Fenglish\u002F2018\u002F09\u002F21\u002Fgrowth-in-purchasing-power-slowed-in-2017-istat-0accfece-1881-4a63-a595-94b6e9037c7c\u002F\">in English …\u003C\u002Fa>   The annual report summary: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.istat.it\u002Fit\u002Ffiles\u002F2018\u002F06\u002FAnnualReport2018.pdf\">in English …\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers or Sanne van der Gaag, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa> © ETUI \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>","light",{"text":43,"link":44},"Contact us",{"title":43,"url":45,"description":43,"rel":46,"type":47,"id":48},"\u002Fabout\u002Fcontact","follow","internal",24590,[],[],[],[],[],false,"\u002Fwork\u002Fliving-wages\u002Fcontact-us","\u003Cp>Welcome to WageIndicator.
