The Jobs Act: Improving skill matching across the national territory
This chapter discusses how elements of the recent labour market reform Jobs Act are providing renewed incentives for skill matching in Italy. The chapter discusses the way skill supply meets the demand in the Italian labour market and how this process can be strengthened to ensure that workers are employed in jobs that fully make use of their skills across the whole country. The chapter also discusses the recent introduction of the new National Agency for Active Labour Market Policies (ANPAL) and how this can play a key role in spurring skill matching in Italy. Bottleneck and challenges for the future are also discussed.
