The italian number baffles me: the disability pension scheme (read southern Italy, read under false pretense) is a recurring anthem in italian (northern) newspapers. I would have guess Italy ranks among the higher invalidity rates among OECD country.

I had read some debunking and that the most invalids were in northern Italy, but nothing about the low rate country-wide.

Myth and reality?
