Young, poor, and imprisoned on the edge: the Italy of the submerged designed by Censis – The Express

Young, poor, and imprisoned on the edge: the Italy of the submerged designed by Censis

Back to the Italy of the submerged. This is one of the strong features with which the Censis draws this year, the portrait of the Italian society. Nothing new, you say, since the economic fabric of our country has submerged the main plot, as evidenced by estimates of increasing its value: 200 billion euro, 12 percent of the Gdp, according to Istat. In that enormous mass of money, however, include illegal activities, from smuggling to prostitution, from drugs to extortion, and not only the activities in the light of the sun which circulate money that escapes the tax authorities, but it produces jobs. In short: the phenomenon that the Censis intercepted for first in the Seventies, doing curl the nose to the statistical profession for which that aspect of the company was completely out of the radar, then showed the vitality and the desire to grow and to engage a substantial part of the population. Today, it is quite another to paste.

In the Report number 50 on the social situation of the country, which is launched today by Giuseppe De Rita, the founding father and president, as well as the inventor of sociology for the use of the media, the submerged of this millennium is called the "post-submerged". And already at first glance, as the "post-truth" the chosen word of the year by the Oxford Dictionary, it says nothing good. To forty-five years ago “was a submerged pre-industrial, that in the next twenty years made by the tread to the entrepreneurship, the molecular and the industrialization of the mass”, writes De Rita. “Today, we are in the presence of a submerged post-tertiary, where he lives a magma of interests and behaviors, all in an atmosphere of widespread primacy of the immaterial, outside of fees, the consolidated organization and efficiency, and also prospects of systemic development”.

What you have done in these past two years, the Italian company, even though it is marked by "a widespread sense of impoverishment"? It is voraciously launched to try to accumulate, to save, to preserve their heritage. Showed its qualities of resistance, or resilience, the buzz word that expresses the concept of putting oneself in the wind, don’t get down, find the good in every situation and know how to take advantage of. And so, the banks can’t be trusted? Grows the accumulation of cash, the return of the "liquid" in the transactions; the real estate is the only large general wealth of the country? You put in income without brakes, B&B and holiday houses, always cash, and the field of his grandfather was left uncultivated? Now many young people "return" to the earth and make up the uses in agriculture.

Well, it would have been strange otherwise. As outlines the Censis, the Italian company in order not to succumb, he continued to turn up every morning at the gates of the workshop and has learned to "ruminate" shocks (such as immigration) and to heal the wounds. You are given to do. He gave life to professional figures, fleeting, and temporary, has pushed young people to become the founders of a start-up without security, to invent occupations and "autonomous" (this year, Vat rose to 25 percent) that do not resemble more those of the past, but they are often simple tasks of service.

The income of young people has never been so far from the media: the millennials will for the first time, more poor of their fathers (compared to young people of 25 years ago have an income of less than 26.5 percent), and are trapped in the lower levels of the world of work (41 per cent of the workforce between 15 and 35 years carried out tasks and operating manuals). Imprisoned at the bottom and the margins, waiters and managers of the B&B, even if the statistics show a decrease of neets and increase employment. Desperate.

Is the submerged Renzi and his jobs act? Probably not, because the roots of these phenomena lie beyond. Paradoxically, they respond to a precise design which began before Renzi: that he saw the Confindustria and the trade unions to fight the flattening of the wage and point to the widening of the spread income to increase job opportunities. Today we came to that. But extending only the lower end of the barrel.

of Course, on the eve of the referendum, a similar portrait lends itself to be manipulated to move the votes in the ballot boxes of those who made it on the day of judgement on the government. It would have been better a slip of the this year’s Report? “On the first Friday of December has always been our”, states the president of Censis, just like it is the end of may to the Report of the governor of the Bank of Italy. And then, better look in the mirror without deceit: the economic behaviour beyond the official re-emerge forcefully. Indeed, the true figure of the research of the future. In a country that – and this is the other note of the bottom of the Report this year – he has severed his relationship with the political and policy not to trust it more. It is time that politics should take note.
