ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The ‘Vig’: every law must measure itself with the impact on the young Dear Director, I have carefully read the reflections of Davide Rondoni on young people, recipients, in the message of the end of the year, of the call of President Mattarella to have courage, to be protagonists, like the generations of 80 years ago, of the history of our Country. An invitation that touches the wounds of our community alive: growing youth discomfort, poor trust of under 35 in institutions and electoral astensionism, which reaches worrying levels. They are indicators that concern the same social estate in the country, its economic future and the quality of our democracy. It would seem the portrait of a resigned generation, but it is not so at all. Our children are competent, aware, active in digital, innovation, volunteering and commitment to sustainability. They do not ask for shortcuts, but opportunities: they want to count, be heard, have concrete tools to express their talent. They are ready, therefore, to build the future. They need, however, to find answers and support in adults and institutions to grow and participate, especially in a context where artificial intelligence and digital transition change the types of work, training and the same daily life. Thus Elisabetta Casellati, Minister for Institutional Reforms and Legislature Simplification, in a letter sent to the Director of the Future.
“I wondered many times if the laws we write really speak to the future. And to respond to this challenge, I chose to introduce, for the first time in Italy, the Evaluation of Generational Impact (Vig), approved in the draft law ‘Semplifications’ last November. An innovative and historical rule, because each measure must be accompanied by an analysis of the effects for those under 35 years old. It means that every law will have to measure itself with responsibility towards those who will come after. It is not only a procedural novelty, but a real change of cultural paradigm. Every measure must have a long, prospective look. The Vig reduces the distance between those who decide today and who will inherit the choices, gives centrality to young people giving the concrete opportunity to plan their activities and develop their talents, without having the need to seek recognition outside Italy. This is what the Vig wants to be. the young people ask not to be spectators, but interlocutors, to have voice in the public debate and in politics, to be able to believe that there is a State that listens to them and adores them. Only in this way can they build their own tomorrow in their country, feeling welcomed, recognized and encouraged to build and generate future. Italy – concludes the ministra Casellati – must make them fall in love by understanding their needs, offering opportunities and incentives to participate.”.
