A New Model of Co-Responsibility
In recent months, the company committees created to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to ensure business continuity have created a new model of co-responsibility between businesses and employees. This is a form of collaboration that labor unions could also adopt in the future, extending it to broader perimeters of bargaining.#A new level of participation of unions in the life of organizations ...
The Prospects for the Italian Water Pricing System
With approximately 40 euros per inhabitant per year in 2018, compared to a European average of 100 euros, Italy is at the bottom of the European rankings for investment in the water sector. The causes are to be found in the organizational deficits on the part of the operators, overly complex regulations, and the limited utilization of credit.#The current tariff method launched an intervention seeking ...
It’s Decision Time on Migrants
The increase of the migrant population in Italy directly affects businesses for three reasons: the demographic aging of our country demands a generational change in many key occupations in our economy; participation in the labor market represents the most efficient vehicle for social integration; and making the most of the value of migrant human resources guarantees advantages for competitiveness ...
Women and the PA: A Case of Half Success
Despite being the majority in the public administration (58 percent of the total employees in OECD countries), women see less career advancement than men. While on the one hand, they are gradually occupying typically male public jobs (no longer only teachers and nurses, but also judges, prefects, and city clerks), on the other, they are still underrepresented in management roles. A career in the public ...
Gender Pay Gap: The Role of Businesses
Over the course of the last 30 years, gender pay differences in the private sector in Italy have fallen considerably, although they remain very noticeable among high incomes: the difference between men and women is 30 percent, in favor of the former. In 2021, the birth of a child still represents one of the main factors that contributes to accentuating the gender employment and pay gaps. In Italy, ...
Gender Parity: the Necessary Investment
To ensure that the (few) steps forward taken in recent years to promote gender parity don't disappear in the face of the pandemic emergency, public policies are necessary that accelerate progress towards gender parity, supporting women's participation in the labor market and their presence in decision-making positions. Broader assistance for childcare and the extension of paternity leave can improve ...
What Unions Can and Must Do
Still today, many people linked to the LGBT community must deal with a series of formal types of discrimination (regarding the policies and decisions a company makes) and informal types as well (regarding the climate at the company and interpersonal dynamics) that make work experiences problematic.#The approach taken by labor unions to diversity of sexual orientation and gender identity within companies ...
Investments Require New Leadership in the Public Sector
This is a critical and unresolved issue for our country's system, as despite efforts to strengthen administrative capacities and provide technical assistance, it continues to hinder the spending capacity of the European funds from which we benefit. The 2014-2020 programming period, which is coming to an end, shows, as of the time of writing, a spending rate of 63 percent of the resources allocated ...
Simplifying to Grow and Win the Race Against Time
The scenario of permitting in Italy and the regulatory interventions from the perspective of the PNRR In this regard, the snapshot of the state of the art of permitting processes elaborated by Elettricità Futura in 2021 depicted a rather concerning picture of the obstacles characterizing the authorization process, including in particular: (i) a high percentage, amounting to 46 percent, of Renewable ...
Towards Big Government. The Key Role of a Large Public Administration
The serious pandemic crisis, the desire to decisively combat climate change, and the war between Ukraine and Russia have accelerated a long-term general trend: the expansion of the role of public institutions, in terms of activities carried out and resources absorbed. For various reasons, many countries seem to be moving towards Bigger Governments! In this context, many "classical" liberals, ...
