Labor shortage in Italy
-
The article speaks of a few problems:
- Italy lacks workers
- Along Italy's youths, a smaller fraction has university degrees compared to other Western European countries (i.e., they lack highly educated workers)
It looks to me the solution is simple: import more highly educated workers. China has got an excess of these workers -- China has a youth unemployment rate of over 20%, and lots of university graduates cannot find work or are underemployed vis a vis their level of education. Just redistribute some of these college graduates from China to Italy, give them a year or two of language training, and that should solve the problems on both sides.

@Axtremus Not so simple. In a lot of ways, it is very difficult to transition from Asia --> west or reverse. A lot of people have trouble doing it, especially if they do not have any support system in their new location.

Expand "give them a year or two of language training" to "provide them with local support" then.

In theory, that is kind of a good idea. The actual execution would never work.
But, the idea that Italy has to do something is true. It will take "out of the box" thinking.
I think that there is freedom of work movement across the EU countries. Maybe try some incentives with other countries in the former East Europe, etc. For example, in addition to a job, also provide them a house, each year they gain X% ownership as long as they are working in Italy, so after a certain number of years, they own the house for "free".
