Italy is not a country for young people with the new generations increasingly marginalized and with increasing employment difficulties.
This was stated in a Confcommercio note which underlines how between 2000 and 2019 young people employed (15-34 years) decreased by 2.5 million and, in the same period, the share of young people who do not work and do not seek a occupancy (from 40% to 50%)
;
in addition, between 2004-2019 the number of young employees fell by over a quarter (-26.6%) and the self-employed were more than halved (-51.4%);
-156 thousand youth enterprises and 345 thousand young expatriates in the last 10 years.
"Support for youth businesses makes economic growth more robust, widespread and lasting. This is why it is essential to make the best use of the resources of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for young people, especially as regards training, incentives and bureaucratic simplification. our country youth entrepreneurship is the most effective response to the challenges of international competition and globalization ", says the president of Confcommercio, Carlo Sangalli.
