Unequal Health
People are living longer, but the inequality in aging is growing. There are increasing disparities in longevity and the chances of having a long, healthy life, influenced by income, occupation, and place of birth. Meanwhile, young people are facing rising levels of depression. Italy’s universal healthcare system faces significant challenges. During the pandemic, we received nearly 200 billion euros from Europe. It was expected that we would use these substantial resources to prepare for these challenges. Instead, emergency medicine is in a constant state of crisis, with shortages of doctors in many specialties and an even greater shortage of nurses. With the Recovery and Resilience National Plan, we have taken on an additional 123 billion euros of debt and have no more funds for healthcare. Despite this, there are still many improvements that can be made even with limited resources.

What Banks Do with Our Money
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
What Drives Their High Profits, How to Share Them with Savers, and What’s Driving the New Round of Banking M&A Bankers are among the most disliked – and envied – people in the world: they privatize profits and, in times of crisis, socialize losses. While bailouts can sometimes be unavoidable, they can be prevented with simple rules and strong, independent regulators. And profits, too, can be shared – not through one-off taxes, but by steadily lowering costs for customers and businesses. By contrast, heavy political involvement in banking M&A risks holding back the development of capital markets and reinforcing an economy still overly reliant on banks. Four years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we also revisit the country’s economy and the situation of refugees in Europe, caught between the desire to stay and the hope of returning home.Select options This product has multiple variants.

Will We Ever Get to Retire?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Managing Population Decline and Helping Younger Generations Invest for the Long Term To make our pension system sustainable amid falling birth rates, we need to take several steps – starting with stopping the constant rule changes and avoiding any further hikes in social security contributions. A better approach is to slow the decline in the number of contributors through a mix of policies, including public support for those who are not self-sufficient and stronger oversight of all pension schemes, especially professional pension funds.Select options This product has multiple variants.

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.
