“We offer 6,000 euros as a non -reimbursable grant Anyone who comes to live here ”, shows in an announcement of the Chamber of Commerce in Varese, a locality located less than 60 kilometers from Milan. Varese has 800,000 inhabitants and is the third city in Italy as a density of companies per square kilometer.
The city is facing an acute labor deficit, the challenge of the authorities being to make the province of Varese more and more attractive for young people, workers and families.
From here comes the appeal to proposals, which, elaborated by the Chamber of Commerce, offers vouchers with a net value of 2,000 euros per year, for a total period of three years, which can be used by persons under 40 who transfer their residence to Varese province and have obtained a new contract with a local company.
Vienni of the vive of the varese
“We are facing, like many other geographical areas – explains the president, Mauro Vitiello – with phenomena that risk becoming more and more worrying. By this measure, we want to combat depopulation, reduce the inconsistency between the demand and the offer of jobs and limit the phenomenon to the exodus of the talents that affects us, and that we are affected. Those with the highest entrepreneurial density and the best export capacity, must also cope with Milan and the border with Switzerland: certainly a factor that brings wealth, but at the same time influence the labor market. is shown in the public call.
The measure is part of a package of tools that the Varese Chamber of Commerce develops to increase the territorial attractiveness, paying special attention to young people, students, families and workers, so that they can find here the best conditions to carry out their life project.
Why not contribute to rent too?
The initiative is inspired by the awareness of the way in which the residential choice is closely related to the employment opportunities and the quality of life: the vouchers made available will thus be spent on commercial goods and services and on local artisan activities. Another way to create a virtuous circle and in favor of Varese companies.
“We are very aware that this measure, alone, is not capable of solving the problems. However, we are convinced that it can give life to a virtuous circle that mobilizes the territory to give the best and to create the conditions to continue to grow at the socioeconomic level in a territory that concerns the future. you would support those who already work in the territory.
Why not contribute to rent too? “We are the Chamber of Commerce – these are always the words of the president – an institution that represents and supports the economic structure. By this initiative, we want to support, on the one hand, those who need to hire and, on the other hand, the commercial and artisan enterprises.” said Vitllo, stating that the announcement will be available next week on the website of the Varese Chamber of Commerce.
Lower wages as in neighboring states
“It is an experiment, a test: we are worried about the health of our territories and companies”said Mauro Vitiello according to Corriere della Serra.
“We do not find the specialists we need ”he added, “And this despite the fact that there are two universities in the Varese province and the technical institutes that guarantee the graduates an immediate employment rate of 94%”.
He stated that, from every 10 young people who finish their studies in Varese, 4 choose to move elsewhere. “Even in this case, the city of Lombard is not a story in itself, but is fully part of a national phenomenon: in 2023, according to I know, 21,000 Italians under 35 have moved abroad and are almost always young with a high level of education. And we reach a crucial point: salaries, which in Italy are on average lower than in the rest of Europe (24,000 euros per year, 36,500 in the Netherlands).
Very true and we suffer in particular by the competition in Switzerland (where salaries are 25% higher), Germany and even Milan. We can guarantee a new employment 1,700-1,800 euros, whatever you want. The “unique opportunity” we put on the table wants to be a kind of additional narrative. To those who choose to come to Varese we tell them: there is a territory that takes care of you, offers you a job, but also services, medium, quality of life. We are in a global competition, we must find solutions ”said Vitllo.
Calabria – subsidies up to 26,000 euros
Solutions are needed, and even creative, writes corriere.it. “The authorities in Bologna addressed the Salezians to ensure the missing human capital. Not by chance, as Don Bosco – the founder of the order – was convinced that the teaching of a trades will guarantee their social rehabilitation“, Writes the publication listing the examples of other cities in Italy that announced generous subsidies for those who move to depopulated localities:
“The Renner Group guarantees young immigrants a permanent contract, accommodation and training courses in a center managed by Salazians, because they do not find specialized workers. A social assistance system, which overturns the usual vision of immigration.
Even the recent election campaign in Genoa had among his “hot topics” solutions to keep the inhabitants.
And in this case we are talking about one of the soul hearts of the northern economy. The problem, in other words, has surpassed the borders of the Trentino valleys (stimulants for those who buy or renovate a house), the internal areas of Sicily (the solution of the house of one euro) or the internal areas of the apenin (a fixed 7%). Then, there is the Calabria region, which offers up to 26,000 euros to move to cities with less than 2,000 inhabitants. Imitated by Piedmont, Veneto, Emilia Romagna, Molise, who issued similar ads.
We need inhabitants for Italy of the near future. And now we are willing to pay them. ”
