Il contributo propone una analisi linguistica e politico-linguistico-educativa sulla attuale condizione dell'insegnamento dell'italiano all'estero, a partire dai dati sul numero delle iscrizioni ai corsi di lingua presentati dalla MLA (2022) e dal College Board (AP courses). Il dato generale sui numeri delle iscrizioni ai corsi e sugli esami AP è poi considerato a titolo esemplificativo nel contesto economico professionale della Greater Toronto Area (GTA) di Toronto, così da fornire un quadro specifico, ma esaustivo, delle opportunità di spesa delle competenze linguistiche in italiano in un contesto come quello della capitale dell'Ontario che è stato nel passato particolarmente attrattivo per l'Italia e l'italiano a seguito degli ingenti movimenti migratori degli anni Settanta e Ottanta.

Il lavoro accosta i dati del database SIL-ER, contenente le comunicazioni obbligatorie sul lavoro dipendente in Emilia-Romagna, ai dati di bilancio del database AIDA per comprendere se, e in che misura, l’assunzione di capitale umano altamente qualificato, (high-skilled) nelle imprese dell’Emilia-Romagna abbia avuto un impatto positivo sulla Produttività Totale dei Fattori (TFP). Il risultato è che a livello aggregato il modello, in linea con la teoria economica prevalente, performa correttamente nel valutare un impatto del lavoro high-skilled sulla TFP positivo e significativo dal punto di vista statistico.

The stagnation of the Italian economy since the mid-1990s can only be understood with reference to the great transformations that occurred in the previous two decades. This long interval was characterized by a process of rapid modernization and, also, by economic policy mismanagement. These changes generated an inefficient institutional model, a dysfunctional variant of the coordinated market economies of Continental Europe. In the mid-1990s Italian policymakers had to make painful and swift fiscal and institutional adjustments to correct economic imbalances and comply with the provisions of the Maastricht Treaty. These adjustments were, however, incomplete and did not solve the two most important problems that explain the fragility of the Italian economy in the financial crisis: stagnation of productivity and little internal adjustment (in terms of wage dynamics and reallocation of labour and capital across sectors and firms) to fend off the consequences of a loss of competitiveness in world markets.

The European migration regime has been traditionally based on the temporary labor model. Coherently with the processes of social construction of migrants' role, this model has encouraged their 'natural' concentration in the lowest ranks of the professional hierarchy which, in turn, has produced a condition of structural disadvantage, often transmitted to the second generation too. Despite the significant effort for the inclusion and the equalization of migrants and their offspring, migratory policies as well migrants' participation to the labor market continue to mirror a model of subordinate incorporation. This latter, in its turn, is consistent with many phenomena typical of current accumulation regimes, such as the processes of labor commodification and the degradation of working and retributive conditions. The Italian experience is emblematic, as proved by many indicators which, together with the structural role played by migrant workers, show a clear tendency towards the ethno-stratification of the labor market and the society. Definitely, the sustainability of the Italian integration model, and of Italian accumulation regime, requires the increase of employment rates, labor productivity, and retributions' level. This challenge does not involve migrants only, even if they are a paradigmatic category. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New technologies and productive models lie at the heart of so-called Indus-try 4.0, a concept which has recently entered socio-economic and political discourse in a number of countries. Lately, Italy too has presented an action plan on Industry 4.0 and some operational measures on this issue have al-ready been envisaged in the Budget Law for 2017. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to look at Italy’s Industry 4.0 plan, focusing on consequences arising from labour law. The labour law perspective has been given scant consideration in the public debate, seeing that so far the latter has given pri-ority on technological aspects and on economic resources needed to imple-ment the plan. An approach of this kind enables us to appreciate the major changes that the Industry 4.0 paradigm will bring about in labour markets – either inside or outside companies – and in industrial relations. The idea of labour and that of doing business will also be questioned, leading to the conclusion that labour rules and active policies can also be factors enabling new productive processes. Examining the major challenges posed by Indus-try 4.0 to workers and employers (e.g. the crisis of subordination, the new roles of skills, the risk of technological unemployment, new decentralized and participatory forms of collective bargaining), this paper sets out to iden-tify actions and perspectives to manage current changes, focusing on work-ers rather than on those technologies that will be used to work in the years to come. In the authors’ opinion, this perspective might help raise awareness that labour law is not only tasked with providing protection and resources and with favouring production, but it has important functions in historical and political terms. Therefore, this branch of law is not doomed to be set aside following the demise of Fordism, but it will innovate over time to ena-ble and balance the new productive model underlying Industry 4.0., particu-larly as regards social justice.

Con il presente articolo si coglie l’occasione offerta dalla nuova edizione dell’Osservatorio Costruzioni realizzato per la Fondazione Di Vittorio e Fillea Cgil per avanzare alcune riflessioni in merito alle dinamiche che attraversano e trasformano il mercato del lavoro italiano. L’analisi descrittiva, per lo più di carattere quantitativo, è realizzata a partire dai micro-dati della Rilevazione Continua sulle Forze di Lavoro distribuiti dall’Istat per uso pubblico. Dopo un primo paragrafo, dedicato alla problematicità della portata descrittiva della banca dati utilizzata, il secondo e il terzo paragrafo danno conto dell’analisi vera e propria passando dal mercato del lavoro nel suo complesso a quello specifico dell’edilizia, evidenziando i rischi di dequalificazione per i segmenti occupazionali più fragili. Classificazione JEL: J21; J81; O14. Parole chiave: Edilizia, Costruzioni, Mercato del Lavoro, Indicatori, Giovani, Precarietà. The Italian Labour Market: the case of the Construction Industry sector The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of Italian labour market with a focus on the Construction Industry sector. In the first paragraph, a reflection about the performative dimension of indicators contextualizes the analysis developed in the next ones. After a brief methodological note, the third paragraph concerns the dynamics of Italian labour market, paying full attention on young precarity and other segmentations. The third paragraph provides a full analysis on Construction Sector, especially focusing on work conditions, permanent and non-permanent work, worked hours dynamics and on safety dimension. By conclusions, the three parts of the paper can find a united lecture. JEL Classification: J21; J81; O14. Keywords: Construction Industry, Labour Market, Indicators, Index, Young workers, Precarity.

This conceptual paper seeks to show why and in what ways higher education should worry about the precarisation of professional work. Increasing number of higher education institutions recently strive to improve professional relevance of study programmes in relation to skill (mis)matches and the problem of unemployment. In this context the paper examines the key factors of the development of professional workers in higher education and explains the precarisation of professional work as an increasingly relevant social problem. Particular attention is paid to comparing the precarisation of young graduates of higher education with the elements of precarisation of academics. The paper concludes that the precarisation of graduates and the quality of academic employment are related phenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
