Labour Market Law

The teaching is inserted among the characterising subjects of the curriculum in labour counselling of the degree course in Labour and Management. Through the comparative method and the critical analysis of the Italian regulation in the field of public employment services and income support for the unemployed, the course pursues the goal of offering rich and comprehensive knowledge not only of the most important juridical institutions that govern the labour market, but also of their impact on the functioning of that market. The aim is namely to make the future labour consultants and human resource managers master the internal and European frame of the subject. Moreover, knowledge provided by the course is crucial for those who will work in the public and private bodies belonging to the system of public employment services, when they have to evaluate critically active and passive policies with which they are in charge.

At the end of the course the student will have solid knowledge of the Italian system of labour market governance and of the most important features of foreign models analysed during the teaching. In particular, the student will be able to illustrate and critically evaluate them, by making the appropriate connections: more precisely, the student will be able to compare different institutions, by singling out the strength and weakness points of each national experience, and to suggest good practices for the Italian legal order. Moreover, the student will master the technical juridical language, and will be able to use it appropriately. The student will also possess the tools which are necessary to keep updated the knowledge and skills acquired during the course.
