Lo sviluppo delle competenze nei contesti precari

Skills development in precariousness: the dark side of flexibility?

Filippo Ferrari

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The article explores the relationship between flexibility and skills development: the initial hypothesis was that precariousness and flexibility had a negative correlation with the opportunity to develop professional skills. Rather surprisingly, in Italy it seems that being employed on contracts known as 'atypical' or fixed-term does not have a significant impact on participation in training activities, unlike other Western countries.
