A survey of the research firm Rete Urbana delle Rappresentanze (R.U.R.) entitled “Il Valore della Rappresentazione e le Politiche per i giovani nel Patto per il Lavoro dell’Emilia Romagna (The Value of Representation and Youth Policies in the Emilia Romagna Pact for Employment)" was presented in Bologna today. It was sponsored by the Unipol Regional Board and conducted in collaboration with the Emilia Romagna Region.
A study conducted by the research firm R.U.R. shows that in Emilia Romagna:
