Inequality in Italy’s labor market

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Continued growth in the number of older workers in Italy has led to less inclusion and more segmentation based on education, gender and region. To promote active ageing as defined by the WHO and others, targeted interventions are required. Initiatives should include structural reforms to address regional inequalities, lifelong learning programs, training to equip older workers with digital skills and flexible retirement options for those in physically demanding jobs. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
