Nella rubrica Welfare Italia, curata da U. Ascoli, i contributi di Spina, Gareffa e Baldini affrontano tre nodi problematici del welfare italiano: la "fuga dei #medici", lo scarso ricorso alle misure sostitutive della #detenzione, la persistenza di una massiccia #evasione fiscale. Link 👇
Galligani e Natali mostrano come, nonostante condizioni favorevoli, la #robotica in #sanità resti poco diffusa in Toscana: investimenti market‑oriented, vincoli regolativi e frammentazione organizzativa impediscono l’integrazione tra #innovazione e servizi. 👇 www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.7389/...

🥁 New paper in BJPS @bjpols.bsky.social 🥁 While there has been a lot of great research on how technological change shapes social policy preferences, I argue with Patrick Emmenegger and @ndurazzi.bsky.social that this literature is missing an important link: the role of skills, notably dual VET.
