Unemployment Benefits In Italy
In Italy, unemployment benefits are guaranteed by the Constitution. In article 38 ("Economic relations") it is stated that "workers have the right that means adequate to their life needs are provided and assured, in case of injury, illness, invalidity and aging, involuntary unemployment". Esping-Andersen traces in this persistency the origins of the chronically high Italian unemployment rates. Italian unemployment rate is around 8.5% as of December 2009.
