This paper takes stock of the literature on behaviourally informed interventions to facilitate the transition to a circular economy, and discusses measures that could be pilot tested in Italy. The paper provides an overview of the key concepts of behavioural economics and describes the main "biases" that could influence the adoption of behaviours aligned with the transition to a circular economy by consumers. It goes on to review the empirical evidence on the motivations that may affect the adoption of such behaviours, as well as taking stock of empirical insights into the effectiveness of implemented behavioural interventions relevant to the circular economy transition. Finally, the paper introduces three proposals for experimental pilots in Italy. This working paper was developed in the context of project 21IT01 "Advanced policy instruments to accelerate the circular economy", funded by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM).

Many factors influence students' experiences in upper secondary education and beyond, including upper secondary curricula, programme design and support for students. But a good transition from earlier levels of education is the first, essential step in a successful journey through upper secondary education and into further education and/or employment. The design of transition systems can mitigate existing inequities in education, but it can also accentuate them. Transitions can also influence student well-being. They can have either a negative impact, for example through highly competitive systems that can be stressful for students and narrow their development, or a positive impact, for example by helping to construct young people's sense of agency and ability to make informed decisions about their future. This paper looks at how countries manage students' transition into upper secondary education and the main policy implications of each transition point and how they can influence student outcomes.
