Youth Employment: A New Challenge – “Pact Between Generations”
Italy is facing a paradox in its workforce: on one hand, there is a shortage of personnel in various sectors, while on the other hand, there is a high number of young people classified as NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). Mauro Magatti, a sociologist, emphasizes the pressing issues surrounding youth employment in the country.
Magatti points out that salaries are failing to keep pace with the rising cost of living, particularly concerning housing expenses. This financial strain discourages young people from entering the job market, leading to an imbalance in the workforce.
The “Pact Between Generations” initiative aims to address these challenges by fostering collaboration between the younger and older generations, ultimately promoting employment opportunities and economic growth.
As Lake Como continues to attract tourists and new residents, understanding these local workforce dynamics is essential for those looking to settle in the area.
