27th October 2016 - J.P. Morgan - Bocconi First Annual Policy Workshop
The workshop analyzes what groups have suffered the most during the recent crisis and its effects on labor market inequality. The outcomes of recent reforms will be discussed, as well as what is still missing to complete the reform process, particularly in terms of active labor market policies.
The workshop also takes a longer-term perspective. In particular, we look at the role of the mismatch between the skills and qualifications of the workforce and the needs of employers in explaining the disappointing performance of the Italian economy since the mid-1990s.
The First J.P.Morgan-Bocconi Policy Workshop addresses these issues by bringing together university scholars, leading policy makers, employer representatives and prominent actors in the field of education and training policies.
