With a reform of unemployment insurance, measures to facilitate the management of business crises, a tightening of rules on internships for young people and employers who intend to relocate, as well as a partial pension reform, Italy’s 2022 budget law reshapes a range of rules in the country’s social sphere.
Unemployment insurance system becomes universal. The budget law brings significant amendments to the system of technical and partial unemployment, which today only covers employees of large industrial and retail companies through the Cassa Integrazione or wage guarantee fund (see article n°12771). From 1 January 2022, the system will apply to all workers and almost 10 million employees across sectors including services, commerce, tourism will have access to protection for the first time.
