In Lazio, work is increasingly uncertain. This is the alarm raised by the CGIL in a report based on the analysis of data from the INPS Observatory on precarious employment. According to what it indicates, in 2023 only 14.7 percent of new contracts are permanent, 7 percentage points less than in 2014.
“Stable contracts not only decrease compared to the overall number of activated contracts but are lower than the number of permanent contracts that cease – we read on the CGIL portal of Rome and Lazio – from 2016 to 2023 there are over 317 thousand permanent contracts permanent contracts terminated and not replaced by new stable hires. Looking at new contracts, about a third, 32.7 percent, are part-time. Women are most affected by part-time employment; overall, 44.2 percent of women hired in 2023 had a part-time contract, while among men the percentage drops to 24.7 percent. In particular, in 51.9 percent of cases of permanent hiring of women it is part time. 65 percent of the contracts terminated in 2023, which were 911,137, were due to the end of the contract. Only in 22 percent of cases is it due to voluntary resignation.”
And again: “New permanent contracts in Lazio fell by 7 percentage points in the ten years between 2014 and 2023: from 21.7 percent in 2014 to 14.7 percent in 2023. The trend of new permanent contracts records a variable trend whose lowest peak is precisely in 2023, despite the spread of numerous investments in Rome, which brings together 80 percent of the inhabitants of the whole of Lazio. In detail, 14.7 percent of new contracts in 2014 are followed by new permanent contracts in this way: 32.4 percent in 2015, 21.5 percent in 2016, 16.4 percent in 2017, 17, 1 percent in 2018, 17.4 percent in 2019, 18.2 percent in 2020, 15.3 percent in 2021, 16 percent in 2022, 14.7 percent in 2023”.
“The balance between new contracts activated and terminated contracts, for an indefinite period (Ti), in 2023 in Lazio stands at -36 thousand and 768 units. In the long term – continues the CGIL – between 2014 and 2013, the balance between activations and terminations of permanent contracts recorded a positive peak, equal to 67,157 units in 2015, the year of the start of the Job Act reform, followed by a sudden collapse in 2016 when the balance settled at -34,634 units, not too far from the -38,482 units of 2014. As regards the following years, the trend remains negative: the worst peak is in 2017, with -55,456 units in balance ; followed by 2018 with -37,313, 2019 with -43,339, 2020 with -26,482, 2021 with -41,575, 2022 with -41,131 and 2023 with -36,768 permanent contracts”.
“New fixed-term contracts in Lazio increased by 4.3 percent in the ten years between 2014 and 2023: from 54.4 percent in 2014 to 58.7 percent in 2023. To these must be added seasonal contracts which go from 5.4 percent in 2014 to 8.7 percent in 2023, therefore with a change of +3.3 percent. This is followed by apprenticeship contracts which remain substantially stable and vary from 4.1 percent to 4 percent between 2014 and 2023, temporary hiring which varies from 11.9 percent in 2014 to 9.2 percent in 2023, intermittent contracts ranging from 3 percent in 2014 to 5 percent in 2023″.
“On the fixed-term contracts front, the year-by-year trend shows variable percentages, the peak of growth of which is precisely in 2023. If in 2014 the number of new fixed-term contracts covered 54.4 percent of the total, in following years the following were recorded: 47.1 percent in 2015, 56.2 percent in 2016, 58.2 percent in 2017, 58.5 percent in 2018, 58.6 percent in 2019, 55.7 percent in 2020, 55.8 percent in 2021, 56.2 percent in 2022 and 58.7 percent in 2023.”
“The lowest peak (47.1 percent in 2015) corresponds, in the year of the Job Act reform, to the highest figure for permanent contracts (32.4 percent) in the historical series analysed. A peak that re-stabilises in the following year, 2016, with 21.5 percent of permanent contracts compared to: 3 percent of intermittent hirings, 11.7 percent of temporary contracts, 4.4 percent of seasonal contracts, 3.6 percent of seasonal hiring and 56.2 percent of fixed-term contracts”.
Finally, it is noted: “On average in 2023 in Lazio, 75.3 percent of male workers employed with full-time contracts correspond to 55.8 percent of female workers working full-time. The average trend is reflected in part-time employment: 24.7 percent of men correspond to 44.2 percent of women. Permanent, full-time contracts in 2023 in Lazio concern men in 74.3 percent of cases and women in 48.1 percent of cases. Again in the context of part-time Ti but contracts, 25.7 percent of men interested in this type of hiring correspond to 51.9 percent of women. A similar situation is reflected in the field of fixed-term contracts where full-time contracts concern 75.4 percent of men and 55.9 percent of women, while part-time contracts concern 24.6 percent of men and 44 percent of women. .1 percent of women. The gender gap, with women employed part time more than men, is also recorded in other types of contracts”.
