Il mercato del lavoro nel Nord Est: la trasformazione in atto

The economic crisis has caused a deep discontinuity in the labour market of North-Eastern Italy. After a long period of employment growth, which has improved the integration of immigrants and families’ welfare, an intense decrease of employment opportunities has been recorded since 2008. The considerable downsizing has mainly affected the traditional manufacturing and construction industries, while new employment opportunities have been created in different fields. These include the service sector, tourism as well as industries dedicated to the development of new internationalized and innovative manufacturing, such as food and wine-growing and producing.
