“Inflazione e salari, quali politiche?”: l’urgenza di analisi informate e azioni efficaci

Il 3 luglio a Roma Tre un incontro tra esperti e istituzioni economiche seguito da una tavola rotonda con Conte, Schlein, Landini e Bombardieri

Sollevare con urgenza la necessità di affrontare gli impatti di alta inflazione e bassi salari, la cui pressione sul lavoro e sulla società sta aumentando le disuguaglianze; creare consapevolezza attraverso analisi scientifiche e spingere la politica e le parti sociali a gestire un tema trascurato e importante: questi gli obiettivi della conferenza “Inflazione e salari: quali politiche?” che si terrà lunedì 3 luglio a Roma dalle ore 10 presso la Scuola di economia e studi aziendali dell’Università Roma Tre.

Il dibattito di alto livello tecnico e politico coinvolgerà relazioni di economisti come Mario Pianta (Presidente SIE), Maria Cecilia Guerra (Università di Modena, deputata), Pasquale Tridico (Università Roma Tre), rappresentanti istituzionali quali Lilia Cavallari (Presidente UpB), Sergio Nicoletti Altimari (Capo Dipartimento Economia e Statistica Banca d’Italia), Linda Laura Sabbadini (Istat), per concludersi con una tavola rotonda con Giuseppe Conte (M5S), Elly Schlein (PD), Maurizio Landini (CGIL) e Pierpaolo Bombardieri (UIL), moderata da Lina Palmerini, giornalista del Sole 24 Ore.

Introdurranno la conferenza i saluti del Rettore dell’Università Roma Tre, Massimiliano Fiorucci, e del Direttore del Dipartimento di Economia, Valeria Costantini.

L’appuntamento è presso la Sala Lauree della Scuola di economia e studi aziendali dell’Università Roma Tre, in via Silvio D’Amico 77.

Sixth International ASTRIL Conference – The Labour Market in a Time of Crisis, Inflation and Deglobalisationand YSI Pre-conference @ ASTRIL 2023

18 – 19 – 20 January 2023 – Roma Tre University Department of Economics

ASTRIL and the Department of Economics of Roma Tre University, jointly with INAPP, AIEL, EAEPE and the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence ‘Labour, Welfare and Social Rights in Europe’ organizes the 6th International Astril Conference – “The Labour Market in a Time of Crisis, Inflation and Deglobalisation”. The Conference will take place on 19 and 20 January 2023 at the Department of Economics and will be organized in a blended mode (virtual + localized).

After two years marked by the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, the war in Ukraine and the strong upswing in commodity and energy prices have fuelled further concerns over international financial stability and prospects for economic growth. How to tackle inflation, economic stagnation, further social polarisation, the restructuring of value chains and increasing private and public debts are all topics that are at the centre of current economic policy debates and dilemmas, the answers to which will affect the population’s living standards in the near future. In particular, the issue of how to minimise the fall in income growth and defend the purchasing power of wages against inflation has replaced the worry over the last fifteen years over deflation driving economic policies. The Sixth International ASTRIL Conference aims to bring together works in these fields on both theoretical and empirical grounds.

The YSI Pre-conference @ ASTRIL 2023 will take place on January 18.
