Il welfare occupazionale : un’occasione per la ricalibratura del modello italiano?

This article investigates the \uaboccupational welfare\ubb that concerns welfare provision resulted of bargaining between social partners, or voluntary and unilateral initiatives by companies. The article firstly aims to analyze the main features of the Italian occupational welfare. The focus is on the protection of both \uabold\ubb and \uabnew\ubb social risk. As regards \uabold risks\ubb, we consider the case of supplementary funds in pension and health care. As regards \uabnew risks\ubb, we consider re-conciliation and vocational training. The second aim of this work is to analyze the relationship between occupational and public welfare. In particular, the purpose is to better understand whether occupational welfare promotes the correction of the three typical distortions of Italian welfare model (territorial, functional, distributive) or, on the contrary, occupational welfare schemes reinforce such distortions. The analysis point out that the occupational welfare is able to promote a \uabfunctional\ubb recalibration, but it achieves more limited results if we consider both the \uabterritorial\ubb and \uabdistributional\ubb recalibration
