Italy has problems with growth. „the difficulties with Italian economy to grow and to create revenues still worry us.“ He added: „we still have to evaluate the effects of the recession on our productivity structure. It is possible that the shock of the crisis accelerated the restructuring of at least a part of the system, increasing efficiency and competitiveness, but there is also a possibility of negative path.“

Another disconcerting area is the loss of productivity. „A dualism on the labour market has been more pronounced. Irregular employment remains high, at 12% of total labour units. The implemented reforms increased the employment before the crisis, but without the perspective of a gradual stabilization of work relations, a weakening in the accumulation of human capital is threatening, with negative long-term effects.“  

The social mobility is of another concern for Italians. According to studies, the relationship between the economic results of parents and children are very strong, thus making the birthplace a very important factor in determining the future occupation of young people, for example.
