When work is not enough
The two faces of the job market: more employment but lighter paychecks
Like in other countries, Italy is seeing record levels of employment. There are more salaried workers and an increase in permanent contracts. Yet, despite these statistics, many Italian families remain frustrated and dissatisfied, as their income is insufficient to escape poverty. Particularly for laborers, wages have diminished in purchasing power. The absence of a minimum wage, ineffective collective bargaining, and the diminished strength of unions—contrary to their outward portrayal—further exacerbate the situation.

Economy and Crime
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
The Impact of Organized Crime on Income and Employment, and Strategies to Reduce Widespread Illegality Organized crime not only destroys income and jobs but also takes human lives. We can combat it more effectively using artificial intelligence, provided we fully utilize available databases to predict the future actions of these organizations. Widespread illegality undermines our social fabric and diverts resources that could otherwise fund public goods. To tackle the issue of youth gangs, it is crucial to invest in schools and social spaces in peripheral areas. Additionally, providing legal sources of income to those in poverty is important. Our findings show that in already disadvantaged families, job loss or the costs associated with parenting push fathers towards crime. This is a crucial consideration for family support measures and social assistance programs.Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page -

Can We Control Artificial Intelligence?

Managing Its Impact on Social Interactions, the Economy, Employment, and Our Democracies There is widespread concern about how artificial intelligence might affect our lives—changing social interactions, the economy, jobs, health, information, and the functioning of our democracies.

We have the power to shape and guide it. In this issue, we present ideas on how and where to take action to ensure artificial intelligence complements human work and improves well-being, this time without harming those with lower incomes.Select options This product has multiple variants.

Will the Lights Go Out?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Why electricity costs so much in Italy and what we can do to keep the lights on while waiting for large-scale energy storage Yes, just like children, we should be a little afraid of the dark. Blackouts, whether brief or prolonged, local or widespread, are becoming more and more common across Europe, disrupting a society that has never been so dependent on electricity. To lower this risk, we need a more diverse energy mix — one that can balance shortfalls in one source by increasing another. Just as crucial is strengthening the interconnection between Europe’s power grids. Turning away from Europe’s decarbonization goals, following the lead of the United States, would be a serious mistake.Select options This product has multiple variants.
