AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The class offers some tools for an analytical analysis of the main trends of the Italian labour market, with some focuses on some of its main actors (young people, women and migrants). TEACHING METHODS The lessons will mainly be frontal, but the professor will encourage the students to take an active role by inviting them to discuss and debate on the topics analysed. The lessons will be supported by the use of images and audiovisual material, even on a proposal of students. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course is divided into two parts communicating with each other, but meant to facilitate those who, for reasons of credits, will attend fewer hours than planned. In the first part we will reason about the reasons of the centrality of work in contemporary western society and the relationship between women and work in the transition among generations. We will analyse the role of the construction processes of gender in the definition of working biographies, the mechanisms of exclusion and self-exclusion of women and men from certain jobs characterized as "male" or "female", as well as the cultural roots of segregation and discrimination. Finally, we'll talk about the sex markets, with a focus on the phenomenon of trafficking of women for prostitution. In the second part, the focus will be on the major transformations of Western markets from the industrial revolution to the crisis of Fordism, as well as the reforms that have been characterizing the Italian labor market since the late 90's and the human costs of flexibility. A talk will be devoted to the phenomenon of bullying. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Books for not attending students 6 credits: 1)Lorenzo Todesco, Quello che gli uomini non fanno.
