Abstract

Employment and, more generally, the theme of labor market are central issues in the debate on economic growth, but they are also relevant social issues. It is well known that Italy has been experiencing weak economic growth for over twenty years. This paper examines the employment and labor market in Italy, both conjunctural and structural aspects. This work highlights how new technologies are revolutionizing the production processes of goods and services with disruptive effects on work and employment. The policy indications offered concern greater investments in education and training, in targeted active labor policies and labor market reforms that facilitate the entry and involvement in the market of young people and women with adequate qualifications, rewarding commitment. But also, by facilitating companies to innovate, developing a culture of entrepreneurship and ensuring the conditions for the birth and development of new businesses in the South.
