The Economic Gap and Stagnant Productivity00:00:00

Despite higher education levels among youth, real wages in Italy have fallen by approximately 7% since 2004. Italy's GDP growth has lagged significantly behind neighbors like France, Germany, and Spain, and hourly productivity growth has remained nearly stagnant, making wage increases difficult to sustain.

Generational Disparity in Income and Wealth00:02:37

A clear shift has occurred in income distribution: while young households were once financially on par with older ones, current 55-64 year olds possess significantly more disposable income than those aged 25-34. Furthermore, wealth is increasingly concentrated in older generations, leaving younger cohorts with less accumulated capital.
