The ancient instrument of the Minimum income it is absolutely to be correlated to the work activity of the people
The introduction of a Minimum guaranteed income it should have been accompanied by one simplification and rationalization of the welfare and from concrete labor policies, not inspired by the naive vision of the reality of 5 stars. The same rhetoric denomination of Basic income it presupposed a confused connotation of the initiative of a government which, by its origin and nature, in itself was certainly ambiguous and disorganized. Citizenship pertains to a legal relationship, and if you want a moral one, between the individual and the State, certainly not to economic support.
The need for a minimum income it was not a discovery of the abolishers of poverty who, strangers to the history of political thought, ignore the commitment of two pillars of liberalism such as Friedrich von Hayek And Milton Friedman in favor of the realization of this measure. It’s still, Ralf Dahrendorf, in the last forty years, invited the awareness that in post-industrial societies a unemployment rate of around 10% would have been endemic and, therefore, a minimum income would also have been a necessary tool for social cohesion.
There Speenhamland Law English of 1795 which provided for a subsidy calibrated on the market price of wheat
For the same lack, the abolers of poverty have not even had an inkling of Speenhamland Law introduced in England in 1795, which provided for a subsidy calibrated on the market price of wheat. The wage integration almost immediately had a difficult life, the contraindications proved to be of robust consistency, summarized in the formula: the more poverty is supported, the more it is favored; the system was definitively superseded by the public assistance reform of 1834. In summary, the ancient instrument of Minimum income it is absolutely to be correlated with the work activity of people, which it correctly takes over in temporary moments and periods of non-work; outside this condition, interventions should be the exclusive responsibility of public assistance.
But the government of the abolitionists, obsessively considering the need for the reform of the Employment centers, structures coordinated by the Regions, ended up paying for the disbursement in search of employment, using the possible third refusal of a job offer as a non-continuation of the same disbursement. They were hired in precariousness, with a pompous definition, i navigator, transmission trees between supply and demand for work, plants, unfortunately totally dried up due to the lack of supply. Already in the so-called first republic we linked the suppression of the then Employment offices, totally useless like their successors Employment Centers, to the donation of a Minimum income, extending the observation to the poor functionality of Vocational Training Centers, waste of huge human and financial resources.
THE Employment centers not effective for the management, even if minimal, of the employment policy
In addition to the belief in the close relationship between Minimum income and condition of unemployment, we are aware that i Employment centers, beyond their outdated and superfluous reform, they are not effective structures for the management, even if minimal, of the employment policy. The job offer, in fact, hardly passes, and has done so in the past, through bureaucratic mediation structures that do not enjoy a full-bodied, qualified and extended osmosis with demand. There are obstacles, first of all cultural, such as reliance on family potential in the search for useful and effective knowledge that massively reserve the definition of occupational relationships for interpersonal contacts.
It goes without saying that the failure of those who have claimed to connect and resolve poverty, work and economic support with a disjointed legislative act does not invalidate the validity of a useful social policy tool, all to be modeled. Not on the path taken by the Draghi government, which reassures public opinion and the immaculate politics of the next best functioning of the device, also crippled by individual malfeasance and organized crime, introducing palliatives and imaginative corrective measures such as reducing the amount of the payment to the first refusal of a job offer and termination of income on the second refusal.
