Abstract

The first stage of the Enquiry into Unemployment in Italy sponsored and carried out by an ad hoc Parliamentary Committee, was completed at the end of March, 1953. The Committee undertook a series of investigations concerning all the aspects of the many-sided phenomenon, the results of which have been brought together in 15 volumes of “Proceedings” now being published. The most important investigation are the four fundamental statistical enquiries into: the labour force; the regulations at the Labour Exchanges; underemployment in agriculture; and labour turnover. These enquiries complete one another, and make it possible for the first time to ascertain, even if still only approximately, the measure, the limits and the principal characteristics of unemployment and of the labour market in Italy. The present article sums up and discusses the fundamental aspects of the four enquiries.
