(ANSA) Brussels, October 6 - Italy is the OECD country with
the greatest regional disparities in labour market indicators
with marked differences between north and south also in income,
security and environment, the OECD said Monday.
According to a study by the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development, the southern region of Campania is
in the bottom 1% of the worst job markets among OECD countries
while the northern German-speaking province of Bolzano is in the
top 15%.
Regions in Italy that have the highest performance for
quality of life scores above average on all indicators except
the number of rooms per person, access to broadband and
percentage of workers with university degrees.
Worst scoring regions have double the average OECD
unemployment rates.
Campania places bottom in Italy for income while Trento is
among the best in the OECD for security and Calabria has the
worst score of Italy for security placing just above the bottom
20% of the OECD.
Sardina has the best score for the environment in Italy
while Lombardy has the worst for Italy and also for the OECD.
Trento is at the top of both Italy and OECD scores for
health service quality while Campania is at the bottom of the
ratings.
For education Lazio places best in Italy but is only at the
lowest OECD level.
