(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 24 - In little more than 10 years, about
130,000 companies led by under-35s have disappeared in Italy
(-20%), especially in the centre and south of the country, said
Unioncamere (union of chambers of commerce) President Andrea
Prete, speaking at the National Conference of Chambers of
Commerce 'Designing tomorrow with courage', underway in Florence
on Friday.
"So today," Prete went on, "youth businesses make up just 8.7%
of our entrepreneurial fabric and there is no future without a
favourable environment for new generations.
"We need to make it easier for young entrepreneurs to transform
ideas into productive realities: guaranteeing freedom of
economic initiative is a constitutionally protected value."
