It provides a range of incentives to stimulate investment as well as increase public investment to extend the ultra-broadband network. Italy introduced a series of policies to reverse the damage caused by the economic crisis. The Jobs Act and temporary exemptions in social security contributions have helped create new open-ended contract jobs while also transforming many temporary, atypical and apprenticeship jobs into permanent ones.
A new type of permanent contract was also introduced, increasing employment protection for new hires with job tenure. A combination of measures to support paternal care and maternity protection, such as a monthly subsidy for female workers at the end of maternity, have also contributed to higher labour participation.
The coverage and duration of unemployment benefits were increased, improving both flexibility and security for Italian workers. Recent growth in employment and participation rates demonstrate the initial success of these policies. Humans are social creatures. The frequency of our contact with others and the quality of our personal relationships are thus crucial determinants of our well-being.
A strong social network, or community, can provide emotional support during both good and bad times as well as provide access to jobs, services and other material opportunities. A weak social network can result in limited economic opportunities, a lack of contact with others, and eventually, feelings of isolation.
Socially isolated individuals face difficulties integrating into society as a contributing member and fulfilling personal aspirations. The Angels of Hope initiative organises volunteers to help reduce the degradation of the historic environment and strengthen civic feelings of ownership of the historical sites in the city. Volunteers maintain public spaces, buildings and green spaces by removing graffiti, reducing litter and preventing degradation.
Evaluations found that 21 kilometres of road and 45 square metres of wall space have been covered by volunteer activities. On average, a single volunteer takes care of 17 roads and invests hours a month. Volunteers have also brought new ideas. For instance, by simplifying municipal regulations to improve urban spaces and introducing a EUR 75 fine for writing graffiti in non-authorised spaces.
A well-educated and well-trained population is essential for a country's social and economic well-being. Education plays a key role in providing individuals with the knowledge, skills and competences needed to participate effectively in society and in the economy. Having a good education greatly improves the likelihood of finding a job and earning enough money. Italians can expect to go through Graduating from upper secondary education has become increasingly important in all countries, as the skills needed in the labour market are becoming more knowledge-based.
High-school graduation rates therefore provide a good indication of whether a country is preparing its students to meet the minimum requirements of the job market. But graduation rates, while important, speak little to the quality of education received.
In , PISA focused on examining students' reading ability, skills in maths and level in sciences, as research shows that these skills are more reliable predictors of economic and social well-being than the number of years spent in school. The average student in Italy scored in reading literacy, maths and sciences , slightly below the OECD average of The best-performing school systems manage to provide high-quality education to all students.
The Italian government passed the Buona Scuola Good School reform in to improve secondary education and better share education opportunities across the country. This comprehensive reform includes a decree for implementing an integrated system of education and instruction from birth to 6 years.
It also gives more autonomy to schools, introduces stronger accountability for school principals and in teacher evaluations, and offers performance-based bonuses to teachers. These initiatives are implemented in schools from early childhood education and care through to secondary school.
Co-ordinated by all levels of government the reform focuses on providing equal opportunities, instruction and care, relationships and play, and overcoming territorial, economic, ethnic and cultural inequalities. The reform also includes initiatives and a three-year national plan to strengthen digital competencies. Projections suggest these changes will have a significant positive impact on GDP in the long-term, with an estimated increase of 2.
The quality of our local living environment has a direct impact on our health and well-being. Outdoor air pollution is one important environmental issue that directly affects the quality of people's lives. Despite national and international interventions and decreases in major pollutant emissions, the health impacts of urban air pollution continue to worsen , with air pollution set to become the top environmental cause of premature mortality globally by Air pollution in urban centres, often caused by transport and the use of small-scale burning of wood or coal, is linked to a range of health problems, from minor eye irritation to upper respiratory symptoms in the short-term and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer in the long-term.
Children and the elderly may be particularly vulnerable. In Italy, PM2. Access to clean water is fundamental to human well-being. Despite significant progress in OECD countries in reducing water pollution, improvements in freshwater quality are not always easy to discern.
In Porto Torres Sardinia , the government facilitated the transformation of an old chemical industry site into a "green chemistry" area that produces biodegradable plastic products. This has involved rehabilitating a contaminated site as well as installing a biomass power plant to supply the new industrial facility.
The project is a joint venture between Versalis the ENI group's chemicals subsidiary and Novamont, a bio-plastics company. In six years, the project is expected to develop a value chain from non-food agricultural production to bio-plastics and bio-chemicals.
The project has allowed employees of the old chemical factory to be retained and some additional employees to be hired in the future. The central and regional governments, the joint venture, and trade unions signed an agreement providing for entirely private investment of about EUR million plus EUR million for the biomass power plant.
