In the summer of 2022, numerous local media headlines highlighted the growing difficulty faced by companies in finding workers, particularly in the tourism and hospitality sectors, suggesting that the relationship between young people and work might be changing. The University of Bergamo was involved in the public debate to interpret the phenomenon through both economic and sociological lenses. From this convergence emerged a broader research project, promoted by the Rector and co-coordinated by Professors Federica Origo and Vera Lomazzi, aimed at exploring the relationship between young people and work in the province of Bergamo through direct engagement with local stakeholders. Launched with a workshop in October 2023, the project developed over two years, with and for the local community. The research addressed key issues such as school-to-work transition and skills mismatch, wages and in-work poverty, the NEET phenomenon, and work-related values across generations. The analyses provided useful insights for local policymakers. The main findings were discussed in thematic workshops with territorial stakeholders between June 2024 and November 2025. This workshop (in Italian) summarises the work carried out and outlines directions for future strategies and actions.
