Il posto del lavoro nella sicurezza sociale

The Place of Work in Social Security

Abstract

The Italian labour market is crossed in various ways by flows of polarization produced by neoliberal policies and the new economy of ICT. Main victims are women, young people, immigrants, especially those labour forces residing in the South. Policies implemented by the government provide partial and sometimes contradictory answers. But what is necessary primarily in the South, in addition to the social and labour policies, is the stronger and structural activation of policies for creating demand and not only for increasing labour supply.
