A report by the observatory of
Italian employment consultants said Thursday that around 23
million people were in work in Italy in 2017, roughly the same
as in 2008.
But if the quantity of the jobs is the same, the quality of
the posts has changed significantly, the report said.
It said the number of self-employed people dropped by 535,000
(-9.1%) between 2008 and 2017, while those working on temporary
contracts leaped by 438,000 (up 19.2%).
The number of part-time workers went from 2.5 million in 2008
to 3.5 million in 2017.
It said the number of people working with steady open-ended
contracts was substantially steady (up 0.2%).
