Abstract

The availability of dynamic databases to analyse the Italian labour market is still unsatisfactory because of many constraints that impede research on causal correlations between employment trends and economic-juridical background. The Italian labour market normative scheme was totally renovated at the beginning of the 21th century but the reform effects on employment and production are still partially known. In this paper, the economic statistical effects of the promulgated labour market reforms on the workforce dynamics are investigated through a graphical-matrix approach that uses ISTAT official data and administrative microdata from Veneto Labour Office. It is proved the undisclosed data from administrative databases alongside the official statistical information can allow to depict a picture of a complex phenomenon, as the Italian labour market is.
