'Right to stay', the PD proposes 200 euro per month to counter emigration of young people

"As the Democratic Party. already at the beginning of the legislature, we deposited (in Parliament ndr) a proposal on the minimum wage because Svimez tells us that one private employee out of four, in the South, earns less than 9 euro per hour". To that proposal is now added the proposal of 'a wage increase of 200 euro gross per month, so 2,400 euro per year, to all workers and to companies that, however, adopt the comparatively most representative contract', the one signed by the trade unions with the largest following in the company. This is how the Honourable Marco Sarracino, who is part of the PD national secretariat with the delegation for the South and the internal areas, summarises the proposal for a Dem law on the "right to stay" of young people, of which the party secretary, Elly Schlein, is the first signatory.

For a young person, the fact of being able to supplement a contract that is already 'good' to begin with with with 200 euros per month, Sarracino explained toParliament 24, 'is certainly decisive for the choice of whether or not to stay' in Italia, and can be a useful lever to counter youth emigration, the increasingly widespread tendency of many of our compatriots to move abroad in search of work and life opportunities.

The Dem bill - which will be filed in Parliament in a few days - also aims to facilitate youth entrepreneurship, 'that is, girls and boys who want to invest in our territories. "We are asking for incentives similar to the 'Resto al Sud' regulations, but extended to the whole country, because building new businesses is not just an issue for the south, but for the whole country. Too many companies are closing and few are being set up. Instead, facilitating youth entrepreneurship is a matter of facilitating the economy nationwide, with incentives that also aim to make inland areas attractive in various ways'.
