(ANSA) – MILAN, 04 JUL – Over seven out of ten Italian families (75%) still give their children ‘pocket money’ to make them do some shopping independently. This was stated by a study by the Sara Assicurazioni Observatory, according to which in this way families also want to make them responsible for the value of money.
But families are also looking to the future and from an early age provide investment and savings plans for their children. According to the research, parents start saving for their children from their birth or at an early age (59%), a further 23% say from adolescence and another 9% from when they are of age. The reasons for the investment are mainly studies and training, for 44% of the interviewees, followed by the purchase of a house (16%), while for 13% the goal is to increase their future spending capacity.
All this looking at new technologies, with 52% of Italians expecting to increasingly use online and apps to get information and subscribe to dedicated savings solutions. (HANDLE).
