Italian ConstitutionArt. 1: “Italy is a democratic Republic founded on labour. Sovereignty belongs to the people and is exercised by the people in the forms and within the limits of the Constitution.” Art. 4: “The Republic recognises the right of all citizens to work and promotes those conditions which render this right effective. Every citizen has the duty, according to personal potential and individual choice, to perform an activity or a function that contributes to the material or spiritual progress of society.”
Work = lavoro. Lavoro comes from labor (Latin) = fatigue, practical activity. Root of labor = LABH to catch, fig. to take up, to obtain. N.B. the word generally used by Latin people to indicate work is negotium.
Worker = a person that gives his/her own work energies voluntary or in exchange for a wage.
The Italian Constitution divides work in two types:• Unpaid work It is voluntary work. It is a kind of work which
doesn’t request any sort of payment in return. Citizens do it just for helping society and the people living in it.
• Paid work It is a work that implies a wage given in exchange for professional service. ILO (International Labour Organisation) is an American association placed in Geneva that pursues some important aims: promote workers’ rights, encourage dignity, increase social protection, make the dialogue about work troubles stronger and stronger.
Work is also divided between:• Employment: - paid holidays; - granted payment (statute of
workers and connected rights); - work contract that guarantees a payment even in case of lay-off (unemployment insurance); - financial and legal risk taken by the company you work for.
• Self-employment: - freedom of taking decisions on your own without any order given by superiors; - satisfaction for realising your own project without anybody else’s help; - more and more money to earn, your wage isn’t fixed.
UNEMPLOYMENT
MENTAL UNEMPLOYMENT PHYSICAL UNEMPLOYMENT
A sort of inactivity that hits young people and that arises from the physical one. It implies loss of freedom to dream and fright towards difficult reasoning = MENTAL PARALYSIS.
What do governments do: Comenius, Erasmus, Eures = European projects to encourage individual mobility and employment across Europe.
The situation of someone who doesn’t have a job when they want it and is looking for it according to his/her skills and previous experiences.
What do governments do:
•Financial aids: to be laid – off one year implies one year of mobility;
•Employment agencies: they help unemployed people to find a new job according to their skills = social safety valves
In Italian entrepreneur = imprenditore
Root = prendere (to catch) in Latin = laborare, comes from labor.
Root = LABH = afferrare (to catch).
Being self entrepreneurs = have a clear idea of the future and realise it, catching it with our own hands.
LOGO
Lamp = ideal future
Hand = possibility of realising the project
Light = realisation
The lamp isn’t switched on by any electric source we must be the energy to switch of the our own ideas, to realise them.
