About this title

Synopsis

The revitalization of a country's economy, through liberalization policies and the implementation of measures to increase the flexibility of the labor market and professions, runs the risk of fostering the spread of precarious situations that go, for the most part, to impact weak individuals who would need greater protection. It is for this reason that liberalization policies constitute impervious and slippery terrain on which the security and stability of less skilled workers often fall. Against this backdrop, the importance of providing adequate protection mechanisms to accompany liberalizations, such as to reduce inequalities-which become more pronounced with the economic growth to which liberalizations themselves point-which, on the other hand, hold back development, is clear. Income redistribution policies are necessary for the achievement of conditions of greater economic-social equity, but they are not sufficient: narratives capable of recognizing the value of people and offering emotional, as well as labor and economic, stability are needed.
