Youth Unemployment and Health in Italy

The present report2 will give an overview of the issue of unemployment and specifically youth unemployment in Italy, followed by an analysis of the available research on the correlation between youth unemployment and health. It is necessary to bear in mind that until now the latter aspect has not received much attention both on a theoretical and empirical level. Therefore, the analysis will also incorporate additional useful data linked only indirectly with the subject of this report in order to understand how the condition of exclusion from work can affect the state of health of young persons in Italy.
