Abstract. The article draws upon the main results of the Report on Welfare State 2019 edited by the Author. The first part analyses occupational welfare which involves the following aspects: the historical context of the most comprehensive state-market relations in which it developed; the reasons and the economic and social effects of the spread of occupational welfare; the areas of intervention and the dimensions it has assumed in various countries and in Italy; the connections with the welfare state; the links with employer-trade union relationships, productivity trends, decentralized wage bargaining and wage trends; and the effects on inequalities in access to social goods and services. The following two sections examine the social and economic policies implemented in Europe and Italy, and the quantitative and qualitative dynamics of expenditure. In particular, we explore: trends and policies regarding: the labor market; demographic and migration trends; education and healthcare; social safety networks; inequalities; the policies aimed at reducing poverty; and the basic guaranteed citizens' income (reddito di cittadinanza) a measure recently introduced in Italy. Finally, the analysis focuses on the measures adopted by the Italian Government in relation to the pension system, as well as the forecasts, problems and recommendations concerning public and private systems.

Giunto alla sua tredicesima edizione, il Rapporto – redatto nel Dipartimento di Economia e Diritto, con il sostegno del Master di Economia Pubblica e il contributo anche di studiosi ed esperti esterni – costituisce un appuntamento stabile di dibattito proposto dalla Sapienza Università di Roma sulle problematiche strutturali e congiunturali del welfare state collegate al più complessivo contesto economico-sociale.

Il Rapporto approfondisce poi le problematiche attuali dello stato sociale in Europa e in Italia collegate alle politiche economico-sociali seguite dai responsabili dell'Unione e da quelli nazionali. Si analizzano le dinamiche demografiche e migratorie, le politiche nel mercato del lavoro, l'andamento delle diseguaglianze nella distribuzione del reddito, le tendenze nei settori dell'istruzione, della sanità, […]

The debate on the impact of globalization tends to stress different and sometimes opposite aspects. Some argue that globalization is likely to have a positive impact on economic growth and efficiency, whereas others seem worried of its negative impact on workers, of the generation of new forms of social exclusion and of a worsening of market failure. The essays presented in this volume offer critical elements for assessing these positions. They also examine the role of national and international institutions in ensuring that globalization leads to a more sustained and equitable economic growth without endangering social cohesion
