ANSA (03.12.2018) Italy is the OECD country that spends the most on survivor pensions in relation to its gross domestic product, according to a new report released by the Paris-based organization on Monday. It said that spending on pensions that pass on to a partner after a person's death amounted to 2.5% of GDP in 2017, compared to an OECD average of 1%. The OECD linked the high level of spending to a relatively low level of employment among women in Italy and called for corrections so that survivor pensions are not a disincentive for people to find a work and do not favour couples over single people.
