L'Italia senza lavoro

Abstract

The 2007-8 economic crisis has produced an aggravation of imbalances already existing in the Italian labour market. As Istat has highlighted, in the last few years the distances that separate the various generations and categories in the labour market have grown: citizens with different levels of education, the North and the South, the Italians and foreigners. Long-term unemployment also increased during the years of the crisis, another typical feature of the Italian labour market.
