Open-ended contracts declining in Italy: data from the first quarter of 2016 – Blasting News

Matthew Renzi continues to say that, thanks to the new contract at increasing protection , open-ended jobs in Italy are increasing. The latest report of the ‘ INPS But categorically denies the words of Premier and, indeed, the settle a blow that in this delicate moment we just did not want to. Recruitment indefinitely, in reality corroborated by official numbers, are down , while an increase was the temporary employment . Let’s see what today brings INPS.

About the first quarter of 2016: recruitment declining

According to reports INPS with the latest official reports, recruitment in the first quarter the year 2016 are in sharp decline. Between January and March we were employed 1.18 million people indefinitely. Although they look great numbers, are the 12.9% less from the same period of 2015. At the annual level instead of the drop is even more surprising: 33.4% a hired less, a sign that the labor reform is struggling to take off.

Calano, albeit to a lesser extent, also hired on a temporary, only 1.7% less in a year, whereas apprenticeships remain virtually at the same level, recording a 0.1% increase. As for the horse of Renzi battle, namely the transformation of fixed-term contracts into permanent thanks to the Jobs Act, comes another setback: -31.4% in the first three months of 2016 from the same period of 2015.

Increase insecurity in Italy

When it was announced the Jobs Act, the main intentions of Renzi were abolish the insecurity , or at least reduce it. The facts, however, go against the grain. INPS in fact

registered an increase by as much as 45.6% of the use of vouchers in the first three months of the year. The voucher is basically the best way to bring out the black economy, it also creates a lot of insecurity because it consists in the daily payment of an employment relationship, without any protection or pension contributions. The problem, analysts say, is that the voucher is not used only when required by law (for example a few days or even a few hours work), but they hide the real continuous collaboration that should be regularized by a growing safeguards agreements, but to pay less tax and contributions you prefer to use the voucher. In practice, this tool has replaced the fixed-term contracts that have been abolished.

The INPS, fortunately, does not see everything black. On a positive note there, that also fell the layoffs : -8.8% in the first quarter of this year, of which 20.1% with respect to redundant apprentices, -10 , 4% of layoffs in time determined and -5.3% for an indefinite period. In short, in Italy it takes less but thankfully he resigned less.
