“I am in favor of experimentation, of favoring as much as possible good flexible contracts, fixed-term contracts, over bad ones, such as false VAT numbers. But it cannot be a generalized derogation without rationality". You said it in an interview with the newspaper "La Stampa" Enrico Giovannini, Minister of Labour, an issue on which the process of the new reform of the Letta government begins this week.
“An intervention on the Expo entirely focused on fixed-term contracts would be simplistic – he added -. We are imagining putting together a balanced package of novelties”. As for the Pd's request to raise the ceiling for tax incentives from 29 to 35 years, Giovannini specified that "the audience would widen, not the resources available".
Giovannini's attention is concentrated in particular on employment services, for which "Italy spends 500 million a year, against the five billion of the German government". Furthermore, according to the minister, "our training system is totally inadequate compared to other European countries".
Assuming that the employment services are transferred from the provinces - which the government wants to abolish - to the regions, Giovannini said he had started "a reflection with Isfol, Italia Lavoro and Inps to study the best European practices, to then decide within September which path to choose”.
In any case, according to Giovannini, the most urgent problem is to give work to over two million young NEETs, i.e. children who do not study and do not work and who "cost us 25 billion euros in loss of human capital every year".
