The aim of this paper is to discuss a grant proposal allocated to each young adult at the age of nineteen years old, as a tool to enhance equality of opportunity in Italy. Even if inequality of opportunity is a consequence of a bundle of facts, mainly related with the family of origin, and a complete eradication of differences might be very difficult, the discussion on pros and cons of a grant accorded to Italian young people may point out the relevance of the “asset-welfare” in improving equality of opportunity in a ageing society. The implications of the “assets agenda” in a society with ageing population are not yet largely discussed, even if the increase in the average lifetime is not an Italian peculiarity but it is a fact shared with most of other western countries.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss a grant proposal allocated to each young adult at the age of nineteen years old, as a tool to enhance equality of opportunity in Italy. Even if inequality of opportunity is a consequence of a bundle of facts, mainly related with the family of origin, and a complete eradication of differences might be very difficult, the discussion on pros and cons of a grant accorded to Italian young people may point out the relevance of the “asset-welfare” in improving equality of opportunity in a ageing society. The implications of the “assets agenda” in a society with ageing population are not yet largely discussed, even if the increase in the average lifetime is not an Italian peculiarity but it is a fact shared with most of other western countries.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
