Università Roma Tre

The course is divided in two parts. The first part covers the history of the social security matter and provides a brief review of the political, sociological and economic theories, analyzing the origin and the development of the Italian welfare system.
The course focuses on the principal characters of the welfare system in its transformations within the last twenty years.
The second part of the course aims at rebuilding the legal system of the Italian welfare system with particular emphasis on the development and reforms of the Italian pension system. The second part of the course also focuses on the link between public and private welfare under Italian law, with particular regard to the development of the complementary allowances (so-called “previdenza complementare”).
