| description.abstract | In last two decades, countries characterized by high levels of employment protection
legislation (EPL) have introduced flexibility policies, in order to reduce elevated and
persistent unemployment rates. European policy makers implemented reforms "at the
margin", allowing for reduced protection only for some new contractual forms (called
atypical contracts), characterized by lower firing costs. In Italy the first reform "at the margin" was implemented with the introduction of the Treu Law (L. 196/97), which
introduced temporary contracts and made fixed-term contracts more widely allowed,
in order to make the labour market more dynamic and to decrease the unemployment
rate. To best of my knowledge, my thesis represents the first attempt to evaluate the
effects of the Treu Reform on the Italian labour market. It is constituted by three
chapters.
The first of them consists in a survey in which I present a summary of framework approaches to analyse these policies and the more important implication of them
for the labour market. Theoretical studies predict and the empirical studies show that
the reforms affected various dimensions of the labour markets. In general, flexibility
policies seem to fail their main aims. Effects were unclear with respect to unemployment
rate, they were substantially negative on career development, and an increased
duality arose in terms of wage and probability of leaving unemployment.
The second and third chapters consist of two empirical frameworks that analyse
some effects of the larger use of atypical contracts on various dimensions of the
labour market. Both papers use micro-data for young individuals drawn from WHIP
(Work Histories Italian Panel, Laboratorio R. Revelli) dataset. WHIP provides monthly
information on job relationships and allow me to distinguish among three possible
states: permanent contracts (PC), atypical contracts (AC), and non working state
(NW). | en |
