The government renews the €500 bonus for 18-year-olds. But funding dwindles

The PD-M5S-Iv-Leu government has renewed the €500 culture bonus reserved for 18-year-olds. The allocation was included in the maneuver for 2020: 18app (that’s the name of the bonus) was only funded until 2019, but an agreement was reached among the government forces to renew it for another year. Thus, those born in 2002 will also be able to take advantage of it next year.

However, the funds allocated to this measure will drop: from 240 to 160 million euros (the choice probably due to the fact that in past years not all 18-year-olds took advantage of the bonus). However, the value of the bonus (500 euros) will remain unchanged, according to what has been leaked so far. The voucher will be able to hope to buy books, tickets to museums, theaters and concerts, music, and different types of cultural products.
