Italy is the last country in the OECD for youth employment: just 52.8% of those aged between 25 and 29 have a job, compared with an average area equal to 73.7%. The findings of the report by the OECD in Paris `2015′ skills outlook, dedicated to the problems of youth employment. And second last in ranking are respectively Spain (58.1%) and Slovakia (66.9%). The country with the highest percentage of young people in employment is instead the Netherlands (81.7%), followed by Austria (81.4%) and Japan (81.2%). In Europe worse than Italy only Greece but not included in the ranking OECD. But not only. In Italy also increase young people inactive, so-called “Neet”, who are neither employed nor in school or in training. As the OECD points out the study, more than 35 million young people in industrialized countries left the radar of the education system or the labor market. But Italy is among the countries where they are most numerous: in 2013 the “Neet” arrived arrived at 26.09% of those under 30, the fourth highest figure among OECD countries, an increase of 5 percentage points compared to 2008 . The Peninsula is thus in fourth place among the 34 OECD countries for young inactive, after Turkey, Greece and Spain and compared to an OECD average of 15%.

The school drop

“The fundamental issue – the report points out – is the lack of employability of young people, because maybe they do not have the skills required by the market work or may not use it in a productive way. ” In this respect, Italy, where youth unemployment is over 40%, dropping out of school between the highest and the preparation often inadequate, is bottom of the standings. As the report points out, governments must do more because the young people have a good start of their working life, enabling them to have or to adapt to the skills required. “Dealing with this issue is not only a moral imperative, but also an economic necessity,” said Secretary General of the OECD, Angel Gurria at the presentation of the report. “Too many young people leave school without having the right skills and even those that have, find it difficult to use them productively. These young people will often have a difficult future, “said Gurria.

The skills

The report shows that at the OECD average of 10% of young people between 16 and 29 years has limited skills of reading and writing . In Italy the percentage is double, gets 20% and this `vale’ the first place in the standings. The Peninsula and ‘then the second (after the USA) as a poor math skills, that affect more’ than 25% of young people, compared with 14% OECD average. The Peninsula remedy so ‘a `pagella’ full of shortcomings as a` occupabilita’` youth. Figure, in fact, invariably in 25% of the worst countries for skills of young people, as they have developed, for the integration of young people into the labor market and the proximity of’Neet ‘in the labor market. Like Spain `Italy faces challenges in many dimensions dell’occupabilita’ youth ‘, warns the OECD, while other countries such as Finland and the Netherlands have a good performance on the higher part of the fronts. The report Squaderno figures of `debacle’ school and – wheel – Italian employment dependent youth. Considering the age group ‘from 16 to 29 years old, a graduate math skills of Italian stop one vote OECD of 280 points, compared with the average 300, and the graduated’ around 250 and who is not ‘gone beyond compulsory education and ’210 points.

Data

All data between the most ‘low OECD, if not the most’ low. In Italy 17% of young people leaving secondary school without a diploma and and ‘the percentage more’ high after the Spanish one. 60% of these young people have poor math skills, the second percentage more ‘high OECD. Among the young people who complete high school, and ‘the 30% to have little experience with numbers. In both cases the percentages Italian are much more ‘high OECD averages which are respectively, 40% and 20%. In Italy, among others, are `Neet’ 18% of those who have completed a vocational education, as indicative of the difficulties’ of the transition between school and work. Inactive people are more ‘popular, however,’ among young people who stopped to compulsory education (50% of total Neet), but there ‘s also a 10% with the degree and the remaining 40% has secondary diploma. At the same time, the Peninsula and ‘also the country with the percentage more’ low of young people who combine study and work: only 10% against 60% for example, the Netherlands and Australia. The employment rate of those aged between 25 and 29 and ’50%, the second most’ low OECD and 20 points lower than that of workers between 30 and 54 years old. Over 50% of young people have a temporary job, that ‘precarious, the third most percentage’ high OECD, against the average of 23%. 54% of young Italians, moreover, has no experience of computer at work, given the more ‘high OECD, while the percentage of those who have no experience of ICT at home is reduced to a few points. Over 30% reported then to have routine tasks at work and learn little in them, the second most ‘high percentage OECD. Cosi ‘, the statement `the organization I work for motivates me to give my best on lavoro’, the portion of young Italians who responds positively does not reach 60%, the most’ low OECD.
