The problem of unemployment it is one of the main causes of the slow recovery of the Italian economy. However, there seem to be some ways to boost employment: for example, it would be enough deduct from the taxable amount expenses for cleaners, babysitters and carers. To say it is a research commissioned to Census by Assindatcolf, an association that operates in the field of services to employer families, and presented in Rome.
According to the research, to date there are 2 million 143 thousand families in Italy who make use of domestic help and other 2 million 900 thousand that they need it, but can't afford it. "The only tool to help less well-off families - explains Renzo Gardella, president of Assindatcolf - is that of total deductibility, which could be a measure to be included in the Stability law".
A measure that, according to Censis data, would be absolutely sustainable for the state coffers: in fact, the contribution payments linked to new hires in all sectors and the VAT revenue generated would intervene to mitigate the burden of tax relief for public houses by the increase in consumption.
According to the data, in fact, the measure would entail the emergence from the black 340 domestic cleaners, nannies and carers; the creation of 104 thousand new jobs in the sector and the creation of about 80 thousand other jobs due to the increased purchasing power of families.
Another front by working on which a substantial share of current unemployment could be eroded is that of experts. Second president of Assolombardia Gianfelice Rocca there would be "a third less unemployed if the school trained the experts" and if a closer link were created between school, university and companies.
According to a report by the Rocca Foundation and the TreElle Association, in fact, the revival of employment passes through the revival of technical education and the training of Experts and a form of education no longer anchored to the legacy of '68 or to an approach “ strictly scientific-humanistic", but in which "everything is connected: mechanics and medicine, sensor technology, connectivity, big data".
What is lacking to get this kind of model off the ground are the "intermediate excellences", the so-called "super appraisers", who are trained to a much lesser extent than the need that the economic fabric has for them. A gray area which, theoretically, is the territory of the three-year degree, a model, for Rocca, much less functional than the "university diplomas" which "managed by universities and companies, translated into extremely high employment rates.
