Fascinating, but depressing, study by two Bank of Italy researchers on “entry wages,” the first pay packets earned by subsequent generations of Italian workers between 1974 and 2014. Their conclusion: “Entry wages started to decline around the mid-1990s; the drop continued at least until the onset of the global financial crisis, seemingly slowing down thereafter … Falling entry wages have not been accompanied by faster subsequent career paths.” In other words, it’s getting worse and worse for younger workers in Italy.
