Giovani, politica e mercato del lavoro negli anni Ottanta

In the 1980s, Italy saw a large growth in consumption. Commercial communication leads to the growth of intangible expectations that primarily affect the younger generations. In this decade the distribution of wealth has not changed significantly, but a new mentality is growing. The new low-remuneration contracts for young people are the beginning of a series of measures that increase inequalities. In this context, young people remain in the family and are economically dependent on their parents, but above all they lose the political protagonism they had assumed in the previous 2 decades.
