Investing in young people is a categorical imperative aimed both at relaunching the Italian socio-economic system and to strengthen intergenerational balances in work. A crucial issue addressed in the conference held at the Milan Fair at the end of last October as part of the International Labor Forum and promoted by Flaei – Cisl with the title “Overcoming the crisis by investing in young people”. The meeting, chaired by the secretary general of Flaei-Cisl Carlo De Masi, was able to count on the participation of the secretary general of CIS Lombardia Osvaldo Domaneschi, of leading representatives of the most important Italian electricity companies, with Marianna De Luca, Head of Infrastructure Area and Networks of Enel Italia, Nucleco CEO Emanuele Fontani, Edison’s head of industrial relations Stefano Giudici, A2A director of industrial relations Luigi Caronni, as well as the lawyer Ciro Cafiero, and the president of Fidae Lombardia Sister Anna Monia Alfieri . The conclusions were entrusted to the CISL Confederal Secretary Giovanni Luciano. The speakers took the opportunity to illustrate each of the initiatives undertaken by the respective companies for the enhancement of young people, their insertion into the world of work and above all to identify resources and tools that are decisive for human capital. The most incisive lines of intervention presented by various speakers focused on the need to create a strong intergenerational group to strengthen cohesion within companies, carry out lifelong learning, develop inclusive policies, especially for young people, but who actively involve the most experienced staff, to mean the 50 and 60-year-olds who must remain at work for a long time and must be considered a decisive resource for the good of businesses. Emanuele Fontani di Nucleco has given voice to the company’s fast-growing investment program, which has led to a 17-18% recruitment rate for young people in recent years.
