“You can't build a dynamic labor market without having an idea of the country itself”. The secretary general of the CGIL said it, Susanna Camusso, at the Trento Economics Festival started last night. “If the management where we are going is one competition at the lowest possible costs and the work variable becomes the one on which to save” will continue to strive towards “precariousness and income reduction”.
Instead, we need to see work from an investment and not a savings perspective, said Camusso. Rediscover the quality of work, focus on skills and relationships between people and the training path. If we understand flexibility as the possibility of putting one's skills into play on an open market and building a future, we are all in agreement. “But is this what Italian flexibility is?” Camusso asks. “Graduates are the ones who in any case show greater expectations for their future and today they are the ones most damaged, they are the ones who will have a lower salary. "
In Italy, "the inequality between the north and south of the country has grown", said Camusso on the sidelines of the speech, commenting on the dramatic unemployment data released this morning by Istat, "because the choice not to invest and not to innovate to create work has led to further inequality. There continues to be a great one prejudice against female employment. The data from the South of young women is particularly striking, but in reality female employment is decreasing in the country, as if one of the defensive recipes that they self-produce were exactly that of returning to the idea that the labor market is made up of men, from a single income in households”.
