to stay there but frankly amazed especially concerned that, for most of a sample of boys Milanese of middle and high schools, tourism is the driving force and the backbone of our economy. Which is shown by a survey conducted by Ipsos Nando Pagnoncelli Assolombarda initiative.
If the capital of the most industrialized region of Italy young people largely unaware of the manufacturing industry with its supply chain is the backbone of our economic system, since it is inferred that such a poor knowledge of economic and social reality of our country is, the more so widespread among their peers in the rest of the Peninsula.
course, is to be hoped that the contribution of the tourism sector to grow, particularly fueled by the influx of foreign visitors to our resorts and in our cities. And while they provide a better guarantee than we do (as, unfortunately, it must be held more frequently) the priceless artistic and cultural heritage, unique in the world that we are fortunate to possess.
However, the risk that most newcomers do not know or ignored which is the backbone of the national economy should not be underestimated, although they are the future of the country. On the one hand, continues to dominate, and in education in school curricula, an almost total lack of information on social and economic environment in which young people live and will sooner or later to act, on the other hand, the social culture is prevailing tendency to regard the world of the factory the same way as the residual entity, as a progressive marginalization. And, therefore, to believe that in the near future our country can do without it, because it would be able to stand on other resources and substitutes the most rewarding activities, although it is not known exactly which never could be.
Before this mirage end up infecting young people, through the resonance of many suggestions that certain media are more illusory than in fashion, you have to run for cover. In this respect are not enough, of course, worthy initiatives, such as those taken by Recently, during the ritual of 'enterprise culture' Week ', to meet young people and sometimes to open the doors of some businesses by showing them how and what it produces.
should do much more: that the industry representatives to engage in the territory of their responsibility, to establish, through effective communication tools, a more intensive dialogue and close with the young audience, according to programs of greater consistency and continuity over time that apply to involve them, to help them grasp the complexity of things and to grow with certain benchmarks and credible. On the other hand, there is a need now felt and shared by various industry associations such as I have these days to find. Everything is to put it into practice in an appropriate manner.
Moreover, just so you can make it clear that the company is still the core driving force of our economy clear the field of certain stereotypes and prejudices apparently convincing because of easier handling. And also promote greater attention to technical education, explaining to young people and their families how important having a training specialist for a precarious insertion in the world of work, both in view of the challenges on the front of the innovations and competitiveness, that our country faces in order to survive in the global market.
