Efficient inclusion
Is it possible to get disadvantaged people back to work? And does it make sense to do so today, in the years of employment insecurity, when the phenomenon of unemployment and exclusion from the labor market is affecting wider and wider segments of individuals? The volume edited by Sara Depedri seeks to answer these questions.
The research identifies the Italian model of social cooperation as an innovative institutional form, analyzes its legal context, presents its distinctive features, and identifies some best practices. Most importantly, the volume provides the tools to evaluate this model in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. To come to show how inclusion and recovery to work in social cooperatives not only increase the social and psychological well-being of thousands of people and families, but, far from being a cost to the community, guarantee significant savings of public resources already in the short term.
