European Union institutions and domestic reformers advocated the reforms in order to increase the competitiveness and productivity of the Italian economy. Yet, by incentivising temporary employment, the reforms have favoured competitive strategies that have reduced the productivity of the country’s firms.KEYWORDS: Atypical workEU employment policylabour flexibilityEU labour market reformslabour market deregulationproductivitystructural reformstemporary employment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

See http://www.prisma-statement.org.8. Saltari and Travaglini (Citation2008) do not report a coefficient, but do report no impact on productivity from regulatory change. We counted this as one test, no impact.9. One article (Cappellari, Dell’aringa & Leonardi Citation2012) measures productivity in three ways: valued added per workers, sales per worker, and TFP. In Table 1c, we have added together the tests measuring valued added per workers and sales per worker.10. We have also performed a non-parametric t-test, the Wilcoxon one-sample t-test for the median, which does not depend on normality assumptions on the distribution of the observations, for the 10 sources that adopt productivity as their dependent variable and share of temporary or permanent workers in the workforce as independent variable. A one-sided test indicates that rmedian is negative, with p value < 0.001.11. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tipslm20/default/table?lang=en accessed April 30, 2021Additional informationNotes on contributorsFrancesco StolfiFrancesco Stolfi is a Senior Lecturer in the Macquarie School of Social Sciences, Macquarie University.

We sketch how the crisis erupted, the main measures and strategies adopted by the national executive, the role of the experts, and the interaction with other political actors and institutions. We also explore the second phase and how the political reaction evolved towards a more consensual approach. Paradoxically, the consequences for the political actors were apparently less harmful than expected, since the governments did not lose political support, and the electorate continued to support the policy measures adopted to mitigate the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":47304,"journal":{"name":"South European Society and Politics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90344693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
