Presentazione

This is the eighteenth edition of the Report on the labour market in the financial industry, an annual publication of reference for the analysis of the compensation policies, labour costs and some issues related to the European banking sector. In addition to the normal updates and reviews of the national and international comparisons, the report provides an in-depth breakdown of the salient aspects of the compensation systems for main European partners and levels of labour costs and business productivity. A specific focus is given to the trend and important aspects of the work force and specifically of the female employment in Italy’s labour market, comparing such evidence with what is emerging in the Italian and European banking sector. Taking into account the growing importance of Italian banking groups, the report examines the issue of international expansion of the groups, in terms of characteristics of the personnel employed. A snapshot is provided of the situation reported by Italian banks with regard to the availability of supplemental healthcare plans and bank-financed education programmes, and analyzes the principal findings from the ABI’s survey about supplementary pension plans in effect in the Italian banking industry. Finally, the report analyzes the status of organizational restructuring processes, with particular reference to their impact on the work force at several of Europe’s leading banks. This report has been realized by Giancarlo Durante (head of project and co-ordinator), Luigi Prosperetti (scientific consultant) and a group established by the following offices of the Italian Banking Association: Wage Systems and Dynamics, Labour Legislation, Social and Trade-unions issues, Economic and Management Analysis and European Banking Report Observatory (EBR).
