There is a high level of insecurity
in the Italian labour market, the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development said Wednesday, placing Italy fourth
on the issue behind Greece, Spain and Turkey.
The OECD also placed Italy third for unemployment but said
that a "positive trend in employment" would continue.
Real incomes will however fall, it said.
Less than one out of 10 unemployed Italians gets any form of
benefit, the organisation said.
OECD chief Angel Gurria said the Jobs Act labour market
reform, which the government i set to overhaul, was a "huge"
achievement and Italy "should preserve it".
The OECD added that there was "much to be done" to improve
the precarious nature of much work in Italy.
It also said the government should try to free up a "rigid"
jobs market.
