On Labor Day, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni took to social media for a live broadcast, where she celebrated May Day by highlighting the importance of concrete answers for the hardworking Italians who contribute to the nation’s wealth. The Prime Minister emphasized that the government has achieved excellent results in the labor market, with over half a million more people employed and records set for female employment and stable contracts.
During her speech, Meloni announced a new decree passed by the Council of Ministers aimed at creating more jobs, especially in the South of Italy. One of the main measures in this package includes a 100% exemption from social security contributions for young people under 35 who have never had permanent contracts, as long as they are hired with stable contracts. This incentive also applies to those over 35 who have been unemployed for at least 2 years.
Meloni underscored the importance of supporting companies to hire, stating that it is companies and their workers who create employment and wealth, not the state. She emphasized that the role of the state is to support and enable companies and workers to thrive and create prosperity for the nation.
In conclusion, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s live broadcast on Labor Day highlighted her government’s achievements in improving job opportunities in Italy, including creating more jobs in Southern regions. The new decree announced by Meloni aims to provide young people with stable contracts while reducing their social security contributions for two years. By supporting companies to hire, Meloni believes that Italy can continue to create prosperity for its citizens.
