A More Inclusive Education System to Prevent the Waste of Human Capital in Italy
Italy is facing a tremendous waste of human capital. Hundreds of thousands of well-educated young people struggle to find jobs, and when they do, they often end up in roles that have little to do with the skills they spent years acquiring through their studies. This is a loss we can no longer afford. Each year, about 100,000 people leave our workforce. Four years ago, only one in twenty companies reported staffing shortages; today, nearly one in two can’t fill vacant positions. To address this waste, we need to start with early childhood education, improve the quality of schools by valuing teachers’ work, and establish vocational pathways in higher education. Unfortunately, we are missing the opportunity presented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) to tackle these deep-rooted problems in Italy’s education system.

Economy and Crime
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
The Impact of Organized Crime on Income and Employment, and Strategies to Reduce Widespread Illegality Organized crime not only destroys income and jobs but also takes human lives. We can combat it more effectively using artificial intelligence, provided we fully utilize available databases to predict the future actions of these organizations. Widespread illegality undermines our social fabric and diverts resources that could otherwise fund public goods. To tackle the issue of youth gangs, it is crucial to invest in schools and social spaces in peripheral areas. Additionally, providing legal sources of income to those in poverty is important. Our findings show that in already disadvantaged families, job loss or the costs associated with parenting push fathers towards crime. This is a crucial consideration for family support measures and social assistance programs.Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page -

Overcrowding fuels recidivism: why a purely punitive prison system makes society less safe We know far too little about what really happens inside prisons. In this issue of eco, we look beyond the walls of our penitentiary system and let the data speak. The overwhelming majority of inmates serve their sentences in severely overcrowded facilities. This is a chronic problem that calls for structural interventions, including the construction of new prisons. It is not only a matter of upholding constitutional principles in the treatment of those who have committed crimes, but also of ensuring greater safety for society as a whole. Overcrowding and recidivism are in fact two sides of the same coin: a purely punitive prison risks becoming a training ground for crime. By contrast, where detention conditions are better, inmates can take part in work and rehabilitation programs that support reintegration and significantly reduce the likelihood of reoffending.Select options This product has multiple variants.

The new boundaries of European economic sovereignty
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
In Europe, it is no longer feasible to separately address economic and geopolitical risks. We are confronted by ruthless dictators who manipulate energy resources as tools for political and military coercion; formidable powers like China, which fortify their influence in the Union’s new member states through strategic investments and trade relations; and long-standing allies like the United States, which have demonstrated their intent to prioritize their own geopolitical agendas, even at odds with European interests. How can we make Europe less susceptible to external manipulation, pressures, and shocks, while simultaneously mitigating the impact on the Union’s already tepid economic growth?Select options This product has multiple variants.
