Sfide generazionali nel mercato del lavoro italiano. Accesso, inclusione e dinamiche sociali nei contesti lavorativi/Generational challenges in the Italian labor market: access, inclusion, and workplace dynamics

Against the backdrop of a steadily ageing population, this study examines structural imbalances in the Italian labour market by analysing long-term trends in employment, unemployment, and inactivity rates among younger and senior workers. Drawing on statistical data disaggregated by region and macro-area and complemented by a critical review of sociological research on labour, the study reconstructs the processes that have shaped labour market dynamics in Italy over the past two decades. The research aims to provide an up-to-date account of intergenerational dynamics in the labour market and, consequently, within the workplace, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities they entail. Ultimately, it seeks to offer actionable insights for businesses and organisations to promote effective intergenerational cooperation and foster the inclusion of different age groups within the workplace.
