Is Economical and Social Development Really Linked with the Shift of Labour from Secondary to Tertiary Sector? Evidence from the Italian Case

Abstract

In the present paper, first, we have carried out a study about regional deprivation in Italy and tested it with a variable test (in this case, life expectancy at birth) to estimate its goodness. RDI index is linked with life expectancy at birth about 60%.Then we have divided Italian Regions into five different classes, from the "best" (less deprived) to the "worst" (much deprived) one. In each group we have examined the working population in every sector and the share of labourers in primary, secondary and tertiary sector, in order to verify the usual argument according to which growth and socio-economic development go with the boost of tertiary. The tertiary sector is determined according to ISTAT definition, which includes public administration. However, in a further step of our analysis we separate private from public tertiary. The evolution towards the advanced "post-industrial" society is apparently proved wrong in this case.

Quality of life in Italian cities: a temporal comparison between before the crisis and after

“…This communicative advantage is important, since a single ranking is more capable of drawing attention, compared to a comparison of multidimensional scorecards, followed by a more complex reasoning about the relationships between indicators (Brandolini, 2008). Thus, these measures are increasingly recognized as a tool for policy making, and especially public communications on counties’ relative performance in wide ranging fields such as the environment, the economy, or technological development (Griliches, 1990; Cox et al , 1992; Färe et al , 1994; Knox Lovell et al , 1995; Guerard, 2001; Osberg and Sharpe, 2002; Huggins, 2003; Somarriba and Pena, 2009; Ivaldi and Testi, 2011; Ivaldi and Soliani, 2014; Ivaldi et al , 2016 among others).…”

Social development mechanism of an agricultural enterprise formation

“…Social development covers a wide range of issues related to the creation of conditions promoting cultural development, communication, recreation and full restoration of the workers capacity [5]. A company must retain and develop social infrastructure to ensure social development [6]. These factors form the social environment of the organization.…”
