Position on labor law reform

Professor Ichino is a supporter of a wholesale reform of employment contracts, which would entail that – as far as all newly hired employees are concerned – short-term and project-based employment contracts would be abolished. Employment agreements without a term would become the normal form of recruitment, which would have a trial period of six months and a system of increasing protection during the course of the employment relationship. He has also proposed a reform of the legislation on dismissals and layoffs. He clarified his ideas on the labor market on the economics website lavoce.info, of which he is one of the editors. Professor Ichino supports a shift away from national collective employment agreements to collective bargaining between companies and trade unions.
