Ipsos-Flair 2020 report presented at CNEL. Pagnoncelli: Retrieve the role of intermediate bodies
"In this difficult moment there is a need for a great plan to restart Italy. As emerges from the Ipsos-Flair Report, the country is split, people are confused and emotionally affected. We must start from our strengths, resources and positive energies that unite us. In this delicate phase, the role of the intermediate bodies that can act as a glue between the territories and the institutions is fundamental".
This was stated by the president of the CNEL Tiziano Treu at the presentation of the Ipsos-Flair 2020 Report which was held this morning at Villa Lubin.
"In 2020, the reality of the country is even more complex and fragmented, territorially and culturally, than it did in previous years. It is a torn country and at many speeds, with economic data that indicate classic fractures, such as the North-South one, but also different rhythms in territories once assimilated. And in which the question of regional autonomies and the redefinition of common standards opens up”, Reads the document.
Now in its tenth edition, this year's report is dedicated to “Emotional states"Which increasingly characterize society, culture, politics and the economy.
"The report reveals a country experiencing a particularly complex phase of disorientation in which consumer, political and social choices are guided by emotion. We have lost the sense of belonging, decidedly weakened compared to the past. We must focus on the reasons why we are together as a country. Never as today would a patriotism as sweet as that put in place by Carlo Azeglio Ciampi be needed. There is a need for a narrative reversal to restore confidence to the Italians”Added President Ipos Nando Pagnoncelli.
According to the report, one of the biggest deficits is that of education and training. Functional illiteracy is increasingly worrying. 28% of Italians, even young people, do not have the skills required in various situations of daily life, related to leisure or linked to the languages of new technologies, able to read simple texts but not to decode them, elaborate them, using the information contained . This dynamic has a decisive impact on the labor market.
The study reads again: "If it is true that the level of employed (these are internal workers, that is, all the people who carry out a production activity in our economic territory) has reached and even exceeded the pre-crisis level by about 90 thousand units, this is not the case for the hours worked. Here about 600 million are missing. This means low intensity of employment, also due to the greater use of the layoffs".
"One of the serious deficits is the lack of a community spirit for both Italy and Europe. Paradoxically, the Covid-19 emergency can help us to understand it by enhancing local communities”, Stressed the director of Avvenire Marcus Tarquinius.
"In recent months we have witnessed a new regionalization of commercial exchanges which are reconfiguring themselves into macro-areas. It is time to push with expansionary policies on the national territory. In 25 years, starting in 1990, we have recorded a loss of 15% in per capita income while other countries have performed better in the same period. This implies a reflection on our economic policies, the choices that have been followed in the last period and the need to consider in a more critical, I would say more effectively, our way of relating within the European Union."He concluded Vladimiro Giacchè, president of CER.
