Too young to work (published in Liberal from Thursday, January 31, 2008) Why wages

The downside of the boom in employment is a difficult entry into employment of young people. According to the latest Eurostat figures (September 2007) the unemployment rate of Italians under 25 is 20.2 percent, among the highest in Europe. Worse than we only Romania and Poland, respectively 21 and 20.5 percent, and Greece, bringing up the rear with 22.6. The figures become alarming if we consider the South: Campania, Calabria, the percentage exceeds 35 percent, while Sicily nearly as much as 40. Italy is also a black shirt in front of the partner of the East, with lower rates to our South By contrast, the countries most virtuous of us have seen lower numbers: Austria and Germany, respectively, do not go beyond the '8, 3 and 10.8 per cent, the Netherlands is a mirage, with its 5.4. Yet the Italian unemployment rate is below the European average (7.3 percent) so as to reach 5.6 in September, the lowest since 1992). How to explain this inconsistency? The belated entry into the labor market may be an answer. But it is not the only one. Italian students, in fact, are often victims of cliches the first degree as a piece of paper that is worthless. The university says that the process must necessarily continue in training for employment as sometimes unnecessary and expensive master level degrees. But the degrees considered short (sometimes with contempt), once sown produce their fruit. Emblematic as evidenced by the annual report of Chile (Inter-University Consortium of Lombardy for automatic processing), as part of Stella (statistics relating to graduates and professional). And this work gives an overview the situation that soothes even the most skeptical. The three-year graduates who opt for an immediate entry into the labor market, find jobs in the short term and satisfactory salaries (who is in possession of a three-year degree has an average salary of 1175 €, while an average salary of graduates € 1173). But the matter does not end here. In the architecture of the Italian educational system is revealed the lack of dialogue between educational institutions and businesses. Writes Professor Tiraboschi the Bulletin of the ADAPT January 14: "Italy suffers the problem of non-connection between school and the labor market. And most of all take-off of certain non-core content tools the Biagi Law. The presence of offices of guidance and placement in schools and universities, in the first place. But even the first level of apprenticeship, one that is aimed at building training and educational contexts and working arrangements. A tool widely experienced in the countries most virtuous, and that fits well with the logic of the new economy have finally broken the barrier between school and business. " The training should therefore not be limited to mere instruments of learning, but also the opportunities that enable students to decipher the demands of the labor market. Educational institutions are therefore requested to facilitate the matching between demand and supply of labor, through the establishment of placement services (ie employment) and making agreements with businesses aimed at providing its students opportunities for internships, now necessary to enter the world of work. All instruments are not effectively implemented in our country. A missed opportunity to reduce the time lag between schools, universities and the labor market.

unions make its voice only now (published in "the West" by Monday, January 7, 2008)

Starts the comparison of wages. It has been fixed for tomorrow, in fact, the meeting between the Government and social partners to reach agreement sull'irrobustimento wages. According to the words of Sircana, however, will not be taken immediate action, but rather will turn a round table discussion to develop in order to induce the unions to not formalizing a general strike on January 15. The Executive Board will propose to its partners to prevent the facts of the same mobilization. Confindustria agree on raising wages, but to a specific condition: the increase should be the culmination of an actual increase in productivity. And it can not be wrong to give. But how to implement the conjunction "productivity-wage increase? Focusing particularly on deductions and exemptions on the increase. Knows Tiziano Treu, who in an interview future issued on Sunday said: "The deduction, for the same income, rewards everyone equally. The relief on gains, however, has two advantages: it gives more money to workers and rewards those who are more productive. Dando, with this, an economic benefit to the entire country, as also recognized by Bank of Italy. " The same Prodi had announced several times: initially, a higher tax levy to subsidize the public finances, and then redistributing the monies collected to workers and families. However, this government has allowed a folk interlude: the revision of the staircase. In the state budget, in fact, the "costs" have been transcribed Of € 7.48 billion (during the years 2008 to 2017) to allow 150,000 workers to retire early in a quiescent state, there is no money for social safety nets (precondition not to distort the positive effects of flexibility) and without doubt there will be no money to sanitize a tax burden somewhat bitter. What have unions? Instead of asking the Government, under the signature of the Protocol on welfare, to devote those resources to fund relief operations in the tax burden on income from employment, preferred for people who want to retire at age 58. After all a reflection of endogenous union strategies highlights the propensity of the same to protect the interests of their members (mainly pensioners). Geminello Alvi writes the columns of The Journal of 6 January: "What does it matter who's fault now earn at least € 40 thousand per year with the fact that trade unions in a boom in profits have betrayed the job? Leaving among other things, the rise between '96 and 2001, the tax burden of direct taxes on income from employment from 15% to 17.4%. In addition, in our country that happens, unfortunately, not infrequently, the workers do the accounts on how many hours of overtime they have done, so that the criterion of progressiveness of the tax system does not obstruct the work energy expenditure, absorbing the additional revenue in taxes. Thus, not only deprives workers of the ability to "accommodate" later this month's income, but from a macroeconomic perspective the whole economy languishes, as it is slowed productivity. The tax relief measures are therefore desirable for the benefit of workers, especially those with low incomes and therefore purchasing power is limited, but less revenue in state coffers can not be compensated with Monopoly money. Without doubt, this analysis should not be confused with the romance of the Minister of Economy, which argues that the taxes are "a beautiful thing," because it goes without saying that any economic action have to have resources with which to finance. Lacking a financial parachute, no government would put their hands in the portfolio. The protection of purchasing power is both a right and a duty and should not be dictated by a state of emergency inflation. " But the Protocol of 23 July 1993 did not require that the parties will meet twice a year to make structural consultation on wages?
