What type of economy is Italy?

Social Studies

Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer:

Italy has a diversified industrial economy, which is divided into a developed industrial north, dominated by private companies, and a less-developed, welfare-dependent, agricultural south, with high unemployment. The Italian economy is driven in large part by the manufacture of high-quality consumer goods produced by small and medium-sized enterprises, many of them family owned.

Italy also has a sizable underground economy, which by some estimates accounts for as much as 15% of GDP. These activities are most common within the agriculture, construction, and service sectors. Italy has moved slowly on implementing needed structural reforms, such as reducing graft, overhauling costly entitlement programs, and increasing employment opportunities for young workers, particularly women.

The international financial crisis worsened conditions in Italy’s labor market, with unemployment rising from 6.2% in 2007 to 8.4% in 2010, but in the longer-term Italy’s low fertility rate and quota-driven immigration policies will increasingly strain its economy. A rise in exports and investment driven by the global economic recovery nevertheless helped the economy grow by about 1% in 2010 following a 5% contraction in 2009.

The Italian government has struggled to limit government spending, but Italy’s exceedingly high public debt remains above 115% of GDP, and its fiscal deficit—just 1.5% of GDP in 2007—exceeded 5% in 2009 and 2010, as the costs of servicing the country’s debt rose.

(PEARL HARBOR JAPANESE)
Blababa [14]
<span>1. The majority of American people had a nonchalant attitude towards America's involvement in the war before the fateful day of the Pearl Harbor bombing on December 7, 1941. They were aware that a war was going on but did not feel its reality until that incident. It united the nation overnight. Every citizen was then thinking of how to contribute to winning the war. Even the industry was focused on manufacturing war equipment, car production in Detroit was put to a halt for the manufacturers to start producing planes instead of cars, and the media also became focused on the war, movies and news centred on World War II. 
2. The Pearl Harbor military base was, of course, destroyed right after the attack, the human casualties was a staggering 2,335, the destroyed and damaged ships, submarines, aircraft, and cruisers were a great loss to America's armada. However, the Pearl Harbor now represents a memento of how the nation acted and became united during the 2nd World War, it has remained an American Naval Base, which is also open to civilians to visit especially on Pearl Harbor Day.</span>
