OECD: in Italy increases the gap between rich and poor – Footprint Unika

The OECD, with the report “Oecd360″ he recertified injustice and difficulties on the labor front that characterize our country. The long-term unemployment, that is, that lasts at least a year, Piazza Italy at the highest levels in the OECD area. Italy is the fourth country in the OECD for the percentage of long-term unemployed (ie, people who do not work for a year or more) of the total unemployed. From 2007 to 2013, the share of long-term unemployed to total unemployed rose from 45 to almost 60 percent, a percentage surpassed only by Ireland, Greece and Slovakia.

In addition, despite the income average adjusted disposable per capita household, amounting to $ 24,724 a year, is higher than the OECD average ($ 23,938 a year), in Italy there is a significant gap between the richest and the poorest, the report says. “The richest 20% of the population”, the report says, “earns almost six times more than the poorest 20%.” In 2012 the Italian household debt rose to 94.2% of disposable income, a dramatic upsurge since 2000, when the figure stood at just below 60%. Simultaneously, adds the organization of Paris, there has been a sharp drop in household savings, which fell to 3.6% of disposable income in 2012, compared with about 10% in 2006.

Italian women have difficulty in balancing family and work, says the OECD. “58% of the Italian population aged 15 to 64 have a paid job, which is below the OECD average of 65%,” the report said, “the men are occupied about 68%, while women 48%; This difference indicates that women have difficulties in combining work and family. “
