What if the biggest barrier to changing jobs may not be the labour market, but your contract? The #OECD #EmploymentOutlook2026 shows non-compete clauses are widespread and can hold back wages & productivity. 🔒💡🚀 🔗 www.oecd.org/en/topics/po...

As #Canada 🇨🇦 debates Bill C-31, our new OECD paper provides the first comprehensive evidence on #noncompete clauses in Canada. 29–39% of workers are covered; 7% report being prevented from changing jobs. 🔗 www.oecd.org/content/dam/... @oecdsocial.bsky.social @oecd-ocde.bsky.social

#Noncompete clauses were meant to protect trade secrets, not lock workers. Our new #OECD evidence suggests they're widespread, limiting job mobility, holding back productivity. Time to rethink the fine print?👇 oecdecoscope.blog/2026/07/07/t... @oecdsocial.bsky.social @oecd-ocde.bsky.social

The fine print that follows you out the door: non-compete clauses are spreading and holding back growth

The prevalence of non-compete clauses is surprisingly high, with adverse consequences for economic dynamism, wages and productivity. This brings into closer focus recent attempts to restrict the us…

We all agree that #skills are the answer to many labor market challenges, from remaining useful in the age of AI to navigating transitions. Yet, in practice, #training take-up remains stubbornly low. With @raffasadun.bsky.social, M. Leonardi, A. Delfino & S. Inferrera we studied why 👇

Among Italian jobseekers, resistance to reskilling is found to stem from identity fit rather than wages; training interest and take-up are increased by better information, from Alexia Delfino, @agarnero.bsky.social, Sergio Inferrera, Marco Leonardi, and Raffaella Sadun www.nber.org/papers/w34633

Nel 2025 la questione salariale italiana è entrata stabilmente nel dibattito pubblico. Con Roberto Mania, nel libro per Egea editore, abbiamo provato a fornire un quadro per analizzare le cause e ipotizzare soluzioni. La risposta in libreria e in giro per l’Italia ci ha sorpreso.

The Economist makes a good point in warning that, at some point, high may be too high, and that we should look beyond the effects on employment. But, I don’t think there is (yet) any consensus that we reached the maximum as they seem to imply in their piece.

The Economist@economist.com · 9mo ago

As governments champion a consensus on wage floors, scholars are getting cold feet. A growing body of research suggests that they can degrade jobs, even if they don’t destroy them

The European Court of Justice has delivered its much awaited judgment on the EU Minimum Wage Directive. The Court upheld the directive’s underlying principles but annulled two provisions. 🧵

EU Court of Justice@eucourtofjustice.bsky.social · 9mo ago

⚖️ Judgment in Case C-19/23 Denmark v Parliament and Council: is the #EU competent to adopt a directive on adequate minimum wages? 🎥 💬 The President of the Court explains with subtitles in all EU languages 👉 curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/p1... 📰 PR 👉 curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo... #MinimumWage

🔻The Court of Justice of the EU has upheld the Directive on MinimumWages but annulled parts of Article 5. The ECJ found that certain provisions on wage adequacy criteria and indexation mechanisms interfered directly with pay, exceeding the EU’s powers under the Treaties!

The directive stands, but Denmark gets partial victory in landmark case on minimum wage at European Court of Justice. Changes to some articles. Denmark is ordered to pay 2/3 of the costs. #minimumwage

Parole importanti del Pres Orsini sui salari stamattina. Confindustria potrebbe trincerarsi (è successo in passato) dietro al fatto che le proprie aziende già pagano meglio delle altre. Invece riconosce un “problema nazionale” a cui sente di contribuire. Una sfida da raccogliere.

Prossimo appuntamento con #laquestionesalariale lunedì prossimo, 2 giugno, al Festival dell’economia si Torino con Eva Giovannini, Giorgio Airaudo, Giulia Tancredi e Roberto Mania al bellissimo Circolo dei lettori! Garantito che non vi annoierete! 😃

Bella, viva e partecipata presentazione de #laquestionesalariale ieri a Roma. Il libro si legge come un giallo, ha detto Nunzia Penelope. Ma non c’è un assassino. Come sull’orient express la mano è di tutti. Più che deresponsabilizzare questo dà a tutti la possibilità di agire.

Ci vediamo a Roma giovedì prossimo per parlare de #laquestionesalariale? 📅 Giovedì 15 maggio ⏰ ore 17 📍 AREL – Piazza S. Andrea della Valle 6, Roma 🎙️Con Elsa Fornero, Giorgio Graziani, Enrico Letta e Roberto Mania moderati da Nunzia Penelope.

Per la #GiornataDelLibro 📚 ecco alcuni dei libri che hanno ispirato il dialogo su #laquestionesalariale con Roberto Mania. Da Bocca ad Accornero fino a opere più recenti. Ogni pagina letta, anche quelle che ho condiviso di meno, mi ha fatto pensare. Grazie!

Ricca recensione de #LaQuestioneSalariale sulla #Domenica del Sole 24 Ore. Mi ha colpito la sottolineatura che non si tratta di un libro con "soluzioni incorporate". È così! Non volevamo un "libro a tesi". Serve piuttosto un metodo e continuità per avanzare.

#RealWages are now rising in almost all OECD countries, but in two-thirds of them, workers still haven’t regained the purchasing power lost since early 2021. See the latest trends: www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

"This shift [to inheritocracy] has alarming economic and social consequences, because it imperils not just the meritocratic ideal, but capitalism itself. ... It creates a rentier class that faces a series of bad incentives." www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

Very unsettling indeed

Deutsche Post Foundation is closing down IZA Institute of Labour Economics. This will be a “very serious loss” for economics research in Europe, economics Nobel laureate David Card us, warning that it will have “a very negative impact on younger scholars”. www.ft.com/content/cb7a...
