What to do to stem the population decline of the small villages of Molise? The Molise region launches an “active residency income” of 700 euros per month for those who take up residence in a municipality of Molise and undertakes a commercial activity.

The population decline of small towns, especially those in mountain and inland areas, is now a plague that affects the entire national territory, from north to south. More and more municipalities are starting initiatives to attract new residents. This is the case of some villages of Sicily, for example, such as Salemi or Gangi, which sell abandoned buildings for free or at symbolic prices.

Molise is affected by this global phenomenon. 136 municipalities, most of them with a population of less than two thousand inhabitants.
What to do to stem the population decline of small countries? The Molise region launches an “active residency income” of 700 euros per month for those who take up residence in a municipality of Molise and undertakes a commercial activity (for at least 5 years).

The call will be published on September 16th and you will have 60 days to apply.
Is it an initiative that will be successful? We will see.
