Italy's Millennials: Caught Between 'Mama's Boys' and Making it Work | NBC Left Field

- How can a struggling generation of young people transform Italy’s future? Ten years after the global financial crisis, Italy’s economy is stagnant. Its youth unemployment rate is among the highest in Europe-more than 30 percent. Amid a transformative political shift to the right that could reshape the European Union as a whole, we look to Italy’s younger generation for answers. Some millennials are turning to the traditions of the past, working to bring them into the future; others are choosing to go their own way. Can they strike a balance between tradition and modernization, between individualism and family?

I am 70, Chinese and from Singapore. Some 35+ years ago, my wife and I honeymooned in Western Europe. Strolling in Florence, we briefly stopped to admire the lovely roses in someone's garden. An old woman came out of the house, cut some roses and offered them to my wife! We were deeply touched. Dear old lady, you are my favorite Italian - to this day I have not forgotten your most kind and wonderful gesture. You are what I most remember when I think of Italy - and not just its Mediterranean climate, food, art and architecture. For me, "ITALY" is an acronym for "I Trust And Love You." ITALY - these are tough times and I wish you and your people all the best
Your time was really beautiful, anywhere in the world, today it has changed. I hope, you have many such sweet memories. Take care.
@@bharatecon Thank you; may you find peace and beauty within and around you always.

Thank you for reading and responding. I am not sure what '
❤️
I went away from my hometown and Italy 10 years ago at 24. Worked all around Europe. Fresh future? The future they propose you is to work, live in between concrete walls, in fragmented societies, get in debt and buy more crappy stuff that breaks, being completely removed from beauty and any relation with nature. I'm coming back to live in my ancestors house to take care of my loved ones and to live less glamorously, but at least I can feel connected to my roots and happy again. And plant my garden again, to see something ALIVE growing.
this is all what we really need!
saa82vik THIS! AMEN!!!❤️👍🏻
do it ! you will be happy and thats most important
Bravo, en boca lupo.
Your comment reminds of the move Trainspotting
I hate how most of the headlines on subjects like this is trying to make the young people seem like it's their fault, almost as if they are living off their parents. Living with your parents isn't bad, all the people in the video are shown to part time work and help around the house too.
You cannot expect hip hop dancing will pay your bills though. They need to grow up
@@cherkkiable I really don't think anyone does that because they see it as a stable form of income. They have the same problem as my native town, there aren't any jobs because most businesses are run through families from generations. Instead of hiring help, families will cooperate to make the buisness work and save on employe payments. Therefore if your family doesn't have a buisness, you're screwed.
@@cherkkiable 🤣🤣🤣
Agree with you 💯
@@RamdomRando Lots of Nigerians, Kenyans, Carribeans, Indians, Pakistanis, Filipinos, Mexicans, Brazilians, Russians, Ukrainians can and have succeeded in this globalized world of ours.
They didn't do it by Hip Hop dancing.
If you pursue that and you fail : YES it is entirely your fault.
As a 56 year old Male this is hard to watch. There is a generation that has lost momentum because there is no industry to carry the momentum. Wasted talents. These down cycles can often create a necessary reset in a society which may happen to Italy.
We changed the world twice (Rome uniting western Europe and renaissance) we may as-well do it a third time, uh? ; ) It would give me an unspeakable happiness to see Italy do so for one last time, you can burn us then.
I lived in Germany for a few years and worked among my dear Italian friends and colleagues whom were very hard working, dedicated and passionate individuals. They all treated me like family and cared about me deeply. Thank you for this very inspirational and heartwarming documentary of embracing their dreams with courage in spite of the challenges and adversities they face. I wish them all the best for their future. 🥂😘❣️🙏🏻
This was before the pandemic, I don't want to know how the Italian youth is now...
Not as bad as it appear in this video. If you ask a girl who is "studying hip hop dance" of course she'll tell you there are no jobs, but if you're willing to work or study something real it's not that bad. Hope the long term consequences of covid won't be too dramatic tho.

Calling it here first, there will be a renaissance of Italian industry. Why? Well more and more people are able to work from home. If you are an IT technician or a software engineer or even an admin assistance who only needs a computer and an internet connection to do your work, would you live in some German, Dutch, Swedish, British city, or a small italian town?
Maybe the EU will start working how it is intended to work. With people moving not to find jobs - congregating in the urban centers. But moving because they want to embrace cultures and build memories.
Or maybe the EU will continue its brain drain from countries like Spain and Italy to countries like Germany and France. With the UK out though, maybe there will be less movement here. It seems like everyone who works in the UK in any technical capacity is from europe.
A least half of my friends are unemployed. The other have a temporary job
Unless someone can buy a house without a mortgage at age 18, moving out of the parents' house is a bad financial decision.
It would be better to use that money to increase their wealth instead.
I disagree. In order to grow up and learn responsibility, people have to assume responsibility for themselves. Getting your own place, be it an apartment or house, is a major part of that. This also helps give people drive, which is financially good in the long term.
@@derekthehalfabee7942 Parents forcing their kids to work their butt off to be able to buy a house without mortgage will also teach them responsibility and not waste their money on the added interest from loans and mortgages.
The only difference is they would leave the house a couple years later.
It may be stereotypical thing being taught by Asian parents but it's a sound advise if someone want to be rich.
Of course, if there's a discount when buying a house with loans or mortgage, then take it and finish the payment in a couple of months or years earlier than you're supposed to as to lessen the interest.
@@derekthehalfabee7942 Asians and Hispanics strongly disapprove your statement. Living with family helps young adults take risks since they won't be homeless if fail. It's just north Americans and few Western European countries where leaving home is normal thing. No wonder their young adults are depressed af
@@InderjitSingh12 Hispanics are actually a good example of the issue. Between me and my friends (I live in Florida) we have seen the effects living at home too long can have first hand, through girlfriends and wives. Latin women live at home far too long, and it shows when they finally strike out on their own in their mid to late twenties and still lack the skills to take care of themselves.
Derek the half a bee In northern Italy 2 rooms apartment may cost from 350 to 500 euro +15/20 euro for maintenance. Add to that water, gas, electricity, phone services from 75 to 125 Euro and consider medium salaries in Northern Italy are for young people 800 to 1200 euro net income per month.
Considering expenses around 505 euro per month those who have 800 euro of salary may eat, dress and save money out of 295 euro per month. That's a real Quest for life!!! 😨
honestly this is a world wide problem and it's only getting worst.
It has been over a year and your comment is still true.
I am a proud mamas boy. I live in LA. I make a great salary, but everyday I think of my mom and my family and wish to go back. Old Italian saying.... if you have your mom you are rich and don’t know it....Ciao a tutti in Italia.
"Mama's Boy" "Close families ties". This is taboo and a big shame in the US --- which is the reason why there are so many homeless and people with mortgage debt and bankruptcy.
Your poor future wife thou..i wouldnt marry a " Mamas boy" then it means im just a 2nd choice and always at war with his mom im sure! I know many italians ..i saw their moms interfering or controling everytime ..thats too much love and its one of the reasons the Sons didnt learn to handle life and not to live alone of their owns !
But one thing i noticed about Italians..mostly are show-off people and i can see they way they comments ..not all but mostly.
We in our country..we dont like Mamas Boys..no way..we want freedom and living in peace!
Beautiful Monster so true.. no matter what he will not defend you. Trust on me it’s not easy with mamas boy.
@@toady7741 do you even know what a mortgage is?
@toady That's the thing in this country. Parents want their children to go out on their when they turn 18. What livable wage job option does one have at that age?
*You should talk about corruption. This is why we are at this standstill. Talent is being stolen already at Universities where very smart hardworking people have to comply to low paid job because the important people's sons get the high paid ones. Why isn't anyone pointing this out?*

I moved from Italy almost 8 years ago when I was 20 to come to London... I didn't want to be a burdain for my family but I haven't accumulated any wealth of my own. Just living the life between paychecks and paying rent and bills. Now I have reached a point where I think that it would have been better to stay in Italy maybe? Anyway now I am about to leave London for good. I will never come back to the big city, I feel like I lost a part of me here, my happiness my spontaneity and enthusiasm. I wanna get those back
Welcome back to Italy.

Italy is the only country other than my own that I would have loved to be from 🇮🇶♥️ 🇮🇹 love from Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia: the birthplace of civilization and History. If it wasn’t for politic problems, it would touristed as much as Italy.
This is what I dont like and will not like on Western countries especially US, they do not have deep family values, who in the world would sent off their children out of their house by 18 years old then those same children will just send the parents to a elderly home when they get old?! No importance of their own blood
@@rdu239 this is not western custom. It is more like protestant christian cultures from northern Europe. They are very individualistic and can’t stand living and interacting with many people. They often have few friends, and their families are nuclear. It is almost like each one by their own. It is strange how brothers there mostly don’t even talk to each other after they left home. It is a very lonely culture and what they most value is work, independence and wealth.
I love this. The topic, the visuals and editing are wonderful!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
It's literally just the expressway surrounding Florence, and a side street and a piazza. This is the point, these people live in a bubble, heaven.
I really have sympathy for and understand why so many young Italians are leaving, but it won't solve Italy's problem... on the contrary. It just makes the future look worse. Also, as a millennial myself, my experience has been that pretty much all of us are "mama's boys'" or find ourselves in a living situation that requires A LOT of roommates. We were dragged for being spoiled and entitled, but that is not the reality I see... we work hard and don't own anything.
I am one of those who emigrated. I understand your point: Italy has economic issues that won't be solved by youth going away. But honestly. Why should I sacrifice my self, my life, my future to add my drop-in-a-ocean help to a country whose problems are caused by older generations, deeply bad politics, corruption and organized crime? 4 years ago I decided that it simply was not worth it.
As a Mexican American (first generation) I can relate to being a mamas boy. I honestly don't understand what is wrong with loving my mother or father? They are my parents for crying out loud! Honestly the american culture is sort of wierd. Are we expected to ignore our parents after we turn 18?
The US family culture is an odd one. On one end they always bang on family values and the importance of family, on the other end, at 18 you are supposed to be out, on your own and never look back. If you stay, you should pay rent to your parents and will be pressured and shamed into leaving asap or you are a failure. Like, a 25 yo living at home and saving up his money to buy a house or start a business is a bum, a scrounge and is an immature manbaby, while another 25 yo with hundreds of thousands in credit card and student loan debt, living with 4 roommates and still paying extortionate rent and utilities, is a proper functioning adult who made the right choices in life. Weird.
There is nothing wrong with loving your mother and father- but that is not what a 'mama's boy' is! You have the wrong interpretation of 'mama's boy'! A mama's boy is often someone who lives at home without contributing to rent or expenses, and whose mothers still do their laundry, make their beds, etc,etc. A boy who has no responsibilities around the house, and is often catered to and pampered. Then when they get married, they often expect their wives to do all those things, even though their wife might now, in today's age, be out of the house working. (I know some women who are Sikhs, muslims and they have the same problem with 'mama's boys'- boys treated like little princes with the women who do everything for them, except wipe their bums).
Of course, you can still find 'mama's boys' who live on their own and support themselves financially. Sometimes though, it can be tricky in a relationship, when a man takes his mama's side over his wife without question. (I knew a girl that this happened to).
So, if you are not a mama's boy, it doesn't mean you don't love your parents and ignore them when you turn 18! It just means you take care more of your own life and responsibilities. Of course, you mom can still be doting and give you home cooked meals! But you're not a little prince.
This type of thing isn't exactly American and has only existed for about 70-80 years and was created by globalists to destroy the family ties of people from the southern us they forced out west with their banking scams.
As an American ( White/ Anglo background), in my family history extended families living together were the norm. The culture changed after WWII when the nuclear family became more the norm. In the last 5-6 decades, the media has romanticized the idea of living on your own away from family after 18 as though it was a rite of passage for adulthood. I disagree with that more strongly. I am glad I stayed with my family, worked 2 or more jobs and have been disciplined and responsible. I see many young adults here in NYC who move here and live with roommates. There are many who fall into bad habits: overspending, going out drinking all the time etc. Many get depressed and lonely. Also, many go home to their parents on weekends or whenever they get the chance. I have even seen their parents lending their adult children money to get them by living in the city. I just don't see the maturity of all this!
@@zanizone3617 This is so true, in the UK its the same. Now I'm in Italy and the contrast is incredible. Tbh I can't stand the US obsession with money, status and working yourself to death. The kind of people it churns out....let's just say their values are not aligned with mine. Whereas I find the Italians to be more compassionate towards others, more caring and having strong family relationships. They support each other and that is so important, as humans. Its not "me vs the world" or the "dog eat dog" mentality. There is a strong feeling of community and of doing things together.
Italy is the best Country for living and working! We are the most lucky people in the World... I traveled more than 60 countries, love the World, but Italy is the best home everyone can live in... We need as Italians to fight for preserve that beautiful and unique lifestyle we can still enjoy!!!!!
I think it’s cool that families live together, at any age.
Anyone adult that has lived with their families would strongly disagree!

In some cases even PhDs
Volunteering
Having worked abroad
Speaking many languages
Having leadership skills
Having programming skills
Having people skills
Being on social media and being updated
Being up to date with news around the world
Being a social person
Market yourself to make a network
Having hobbies
Finding a partner
Making babies
Buying a house
Buying pets
Knowing how to cook
Keep taking courses and certificates making yourself wanted on your workplace and on the market

I have Bosnian origins and there's the same problem over there too, many know they have talent and could easily emigrate to other countries.
But it sucks since you, growing up, make roots in your country and it feels bad to know that to have a good future, you'll have to leave it.

World is a village now. No one is indispensable! Cherish it or perish.
All of you wanting to throw your kids out at their 18s: soon, you'll need someone to take care of you; then you'll understand the difference between your own and the stranger; what it feels like to be at someone's mercy.
Remember that.
That's quite a selfish thing to say, to be honest with you. You don't have kids just to have someone take care of you when you're old! They are their own people, and you can't just expect them to be taking care of you. It was initially your decision to have kids, and now they have their own lives to live.
I'm not saying they should abandon you, but don't tell them to "repay" you for taking care of them when they were little, by taking care of you when you grow old/fall ill. It's not tit for tat kind of exchange.
Remember, people don't ask to be born, so don't feel like kids have to repay you later in life.

When education is promoted over skills it becomes a massive problem.
Kyn Chan no wiser words were ever spoken
@@brickman291 It is so upsetting when you think it through and know so many young people and their parents have been sold a lie - that education alone would prepare them for a good career.
If many of these people had gone for apprenticeships, learning and applying in demand skills, taught to keep learning and improving in regards to serving the market, got used to traveling to where the work is there would not be such as mess as there is now.
The worst apprentices I know have worked for over 20 years but then had problems because they did not bother to follow the market and keep adapting to it for decades. The top apprentices are in demand all the time - they have too much well paid work.
Conversely, many graduates don't even get a start, their lecturers have taught them nothing useful and not provided any useful experience for them to learn form. But these graduates will still find it unpleasant in work because their expectations are so high everything seems low.
The truth comes out too slowly.
@@kynchan3332 being in IT industry is considered education or skill?
@@cautarepvp2079 A skill is the ability to solve a real problem and is practical. It comes from very specific education, plenty of practice and real application. With the world changing so fast continuous learning is required to follow what the market wants.
Formal education is like general knowledge (plenty of theory) you cover a little bit of this and that, without solving any real in demand problem. Most problems presented are hypothetical and often not adapted to what problems the market wants solved and often it is not practical.
If you are in the IT industry solving real problems you are learning and applying a skill. To get good at a skill there needs to be pressure to really force out what you are capable of doing.

@Melissa, that's correct, America never bounced back. It's just a propaganda narrative. Things in the USA have gotten a lot worse since 2008 and especially with the decay and poor attitude of people in the years that have followed. America has no future, it's bankrupt and finished.
With young people like this, we are in very good hands.

To "follow your dream" is the luxury of the wealthy, but for the rest of us, the answer is to pursue the career in a field that is in demand... and that will get your out of the hole of poverty you are in... simple.
May I say that there are countless jobs completely unrelated to technology that are in high demand at the moment. Quick example: you are constantly bombarded by ads. Who do you think is making those? Engineers? And who's taking the pictures/shooting the videos making up their videos? The art work has countless opportunities within today's highly-connected reality. The difference lays in studying something concrete vs studying something merely theoretical. (I can assure you that kids that come out of professional or technical institutions are generally more prepared to enter the job market right away compared to people who go to "licei classici" or "scientifici", which are generally highly regarded from a social point of view, but whose degrees require students to further pursue specialized education). Art is not a dead end and it is a great sign of ignorance thinking that's the case. And may I add that if the world where i am to work values my existence merely on the account of how much I can produce within my lifetime, then sorry but I'd rather starve to death in an ugly "sottoscala" with no oven or AC.
Many engineers earns very few money here in Italy. But I agree anyway
some things are more important than money, nothing can replace a close loving family.
This is why countries need a min and max on industry, because we are slowly pushing all of our industries to asian countries and removing any way for citizens economies to continue. Eventually corporate greed will cause everytjing to come to a skreetching halt
This is why there needs to be a universal basic income. As jobs are taken out of a country &/or by automation. There needs to be a way in a jobless 'state' to fund entrepreneurship.
Or reinvest into ones education etc.. so many angles UBI can be applied to it help move cash through their economy

It never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I see it. Young people struggling to make it on their own with low paying jobs (I salute them for this), and then you find that they are also burdened with a pet to feed, take to the vet, etc. Often, like the young man in this story, it’s a large breed of dog. It just defies logic to me.
Suppose a dog is a companion that can bring so much joy
The cost is living is a big factor, in India it's difficult, very difficult to find your dream job, however it's also so cheap that if you can get yourself a 15k/month job which are easily available. You can get by and live an adjustable single life in a rented apartment, Just don't think about getting married ever, because then you'll need to find a job that pays around 35k/month which is difficult. I'm not getting married until 30 or probably won't get married at all if I can't find a decent job, I'm getting by right now teaching primary school kids and by being single.
Why not staying with your family if you're not married? Not judging you. It's just I haven't seen anyone else from India talking about living alone like that so it surprised me. Best of luck for you mate.

If you have a talk with Italian youngsters about their life plan, you’ ll discover a common thing:
THEY HAVE NO PLAN

Thank you for not doing a voice over but instead have subtitles. Italian is not that difficult to understand and I learned a new word, "Paura' or like they say it, 'la paura.'
I think I read somewhere that about 25 million Italians have left the country since the 1880s in search of better opportunities abroad. That's almost an entire country.
Not sure if this is the way you say it in Italian, 'circa 25 milioni di italiani hanno lasciato il paese dal 1880 in cerca di migliori opportunità all'estero.'
I personally think there's something beautiful about a multi-generational home but where everyone has their own space and boundaries. We all have such a short time on this earth so might as well spend that time with family (as long as everyone is on good terms). I'm lucky enough to be able to afford to live on my own but visit family as much as I can.
That espresso machine is so iconic.
I would give anything to live in Italy!! The Entire country has so much to offer.
Not really, unless you like arts.God loves you.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💘💘💘you
You are correct, just no money. But the quality of life outweighs anything you could ever need.
It's really tough getting a job in Italy over 40. Unless you know the right people
Trust me don’t do it
@@lalchimiste6947 shut up, this is a wonderful country especially if you have money! and if you don’t there is always a way, at the end we are the 4th economy in Europe so we just have to unite and work and this bad situation is going to end
being Italian in Italy is enough...anything else bonus
Italy is such a beautiful country but with no much future for the young generations.
World is a village now. No one is indispensable! Cherish it or perish.
Oxymoron! You want to leave your parents home but unwilling to leave the country. Very poetic but may not be practical always.
All the best Italy! A gem on the Earth
Poetically said..
When you are young and beautiful, the ascetic and (sometimes) transient lifestyle (one lacking in stability and in constant flux) has a touch of romance about it and certain allure as a result. Post 30 (if not earlier), it's depressing.
I feel for these young people in this situation. I was, until recently, one.
My deep realization about life, started at the onset of covid 19. As the pandemic is making havoc to our lives, I concluded that God is imparting lessons to us: to refocus on our priorities or to chase the rainbow and end up as a frustrated human being. When priorities are clear, our lives become easy and focused. On top of my priority is God and next is my family. Thank you guys for featuring a united family, despite of some challenges. God bless!
In my country (The Divided States of America), a Mama's Boy is called a Homeboy or Homie.
Lol where are you from never heard anyone refer to someone as a homie unless it’s a friend. Mamas boy is mamas boy here as well
Beautiful country...😍😍
The US hasn't fully recovered from the 2008 crisis.
Italians came to the U.S. for more consistent and stable work. In the real estate boom, this was smart, construction jobs were plentiful. Now, with real estate down, and Covid; they suffer in Italy and the U.S. A generation has been lost. So sad
Separation from the parents is the start to adulthood in any other animal.
I know its hard, but you really arnt an adult until you are out on your own. Rip that Band-Aid off and try and make it on your own.

If you are normal person UK it's self is challenging I seen kid talk in street who was coming from school. I never seen this as kid now it's increasing.
Stay at home and look, look, look for work take what ever there is, but also keep looking for something better, never give up its the same everywhere and at home you have support, love and encouragement, plus home cooking is the best
I've lived on and off in both the US and in Italy. I'll gladly trade in the somewhat better economic situation in the US for the better lifestyle Italy affords.
@Anurag Chakraborty I think the meaning of those words doesn't require further explanation.

I just want to remember all the people here, Italy is the 7th most industrialized Country in the world. Just don't think you know Italy cause you just watched a video.

I think a small part... I reiterate, a small part of this millennial problem in Europe based on the "two examples" from this broadcast is that both of these individuals seem to lack STEM education and just want to be "artists", which is well and good if they apply some business sauvy. But overall, pursuing artistic dreams don't equate to financial stability a majority of the time.
@Donald Kasper thats is interesting but if you are 22 year old, you are just to old for college and other stuffs
@Donald Kasper Why is society structured that way though? Should labor and getting an education be a pain? Id ask myself those types of question over "dont pursue your passions and dream career"
Donald Kasper have you considered though that capitalism isn’t the best system as well though? Like as you say if to avoid getting fucked by everyone you need to start a business and become a capitalist to gain an advantage wouldn’t that system be rigged innit of itself? It takes a lot of capital to become a capitalist hence very few actual people can manage upward mobility. There are studies showing this too! Specially in this day and age the system is rigged very unfairly. Capitalism can generate a lot of wealth but it distributes it very inefficiently in my opinion. We can solve issues like renewable energy and word hunger but since it’s not profitable it’s not being done. I think capitalism has more cons than pros and yes I do take into account material conditions. You complain about a rich nomenclatura under communism but under capitalism right now a couple hundred of people own half of the worlds wealth..... I think that’s basically what you’re already describing except it’s happening right now...
We should worry when a lot of people are afraid for too long
I thought I was alone

It's admirable that these poor Italians are still trying to make it work at home rather than leave but it doesn't help them that Italy is expected to take in so many refugees and migrants who will always undercut the wages and are a burden on the benefits system. From people I know who live in Italy, they say the cost of going out to a dinner is outrageous because there are high taxes (which of course to support those on benefits). Another trend that Italy hasn't recovered from is the fact so many luxury good (or rather knock offs) are being produced in China. Generally Italian products are of better quality but so much retail has shifted to fast fashion which has cut Italy out of the marketplace. Italy needs a new future that can give its young people something to look forward to.
China does not produce "luxury goods". The real problem is that nearly all our traditional luxury brands are now controlled by international corporate companies. Their historical owners had to sell out because of the cost of local labour, due to the high taxation and bureaucratic complications of the country. Yes, lots of money goes on subsidizing the illegal immigration. A burden we cannot sustain considering the cost of frequent natural disasters and the unsual high number of elderly population. Most old people have insufficient (taxed) pensions which cannot be raised because of the high cost of social services, part of which goes on catering for the continuous flux of immigrants. It has become a business for the mob, that takes a large chunk of the money destined to those unfortunate people.
Ok. Ok. I'm Italian and I'm young. I live in the north-west of my country. I graduated in Law, without recommendations and I'm trying to create a job, to grow up. How many young Italians are like me? Graduates, workers, creatives, able to reinvent themselves, with a great desire to work?
More than we show to the world. Italy is the seventh world power. Once we were the fourth but we remain among the strongest. We have infinite potential and we know it.
The guys in the video represent a percentage but we have to be realistic: the man follows his passion and a job like that can have an important growth, for example sell the made in italy online abroad (I wish him all the best) but she wants to be an hip hop dancer. Definitely a noble job and a pure passion but how many aspiring dancers are there in the world? And how many are struggling to become professionals? People who have done years of schools since they were children?
Im a year late but I wanted to figure out why do most articles have this a male only issue? Genuinely curios, cant find any info on that.
How terrible for them to waist their lives instead of volunteering time to the less fortunate or find work elsewhere, like our parents did in the 50' and 60's. Carmen Fascia
Donald Kasper - If you are living with your parents and can’t get a job then volunteering can be a great way to get your foot in the door to get a paid job.

We are all in the same boat. This is a world where we must make our own. We have to create. We can and should always live with or close to family but we must create our work and build our future. Don’t look for someone else to give it to you.
Cheap credit makes is all worthless. Houses are super expensive (all assets overpriced, no room for errors), saving doesn't make sense. Cost of living is very high.
Just borrow and spend and yet most people (companies, governments) are in debts. Probably the only motivation to work is to be able to borrow.
Italians should capitalize on tourism. They could be making so much more money and providing better services to tourists. Yet in all Rome there is only one university where you can study a career in tourism.
