Italy: hell for the unemployed

Today, the results of recent research on employment have been summed up. According to analysts and political scientists, the results are simply shocking: since 2008, Italy has been steadily moving towards the title of "The weakest country in Europe".

The thing is that over the past five years, Italy has been going through very difficult times: the economic crisis not only crippled the country's financial situation, but also affected the earnings and employment of its population. The Italian newspaper Il Isole 24 Ore reports that 12 percent of the inhabitants of a beautiful country cannot live on their salaries. Such data were published by the EU Employment Committee in its report. “Employment and social development in Europe”.

The Employment Committee also claims that unemployment and poverty are rising in Italy. So, recently the Italian Bureau of Statistics ISTAT released data on the unemployment rate in the country. According to experts, in November 2013 it amounted to 12.7 percent, thereby establishing a kind of “anti-record”.

Moreover, more than 40 percent of youth from 18 to 25 years of age remain without permanent income. On average, the level of employment in the country increased slightly compared to the previous month: now it has reached 55.4 percent. Researchers claim that such data has not been observed for decades. The report of the EU Committee also said that Italy is the worst place in Europe for those who have lost their jobs. The chances of finding a new income within a year after leaving the job are no more than 15 percent.

This is the lowest figure among all European countries, including Greece, for which the economic crisis has “hit” much harder.

The European Union is also seriously concerned about the fact that in Italy the level of poverty and poverty among the working population is steadily increasing. However, a new job cannot always solve the financial problems of the family: in only 50 percent of cases, Italians manage to get out of the “debt” hole and make ends meet.

The head of the EU Employment Committee said that this problem can only be solved by providing the population with new jobs. He also expressed hope that the country will successfully get out of the crisis.

Unfortunately, at the moment, the extremely high unemployment rate among both the adult population and among young people is the main reason for the outflow of personnel abroad.

After graduating from universities, young specialists vainly try to find a job. After many months of searching, they find earnings in other countries and leave. Many do not even plan to go back, arguing that employers are clearly not waiting for them.

Today, the Italian government pays benefits to people without a permanent source of income. Unemployed whose salaries previously were less than 2014 euros per month receive from the state 931 euros, and the more successful Italians in the past, whose salary exceeded the established amount, are now trying to live on 1119 euros. Former employees receive such payments within 240 days. And after the expiration of the term, the government “offers” them to take care of themselves on their own.
