Berlusconi stories I

In Italy almost every new employment is done with short time contracts. One might think it is fine, since nowadays nobody stay in the same job for long. The problem with these contracts are however that the rest of the system hasn't adjusted to it. Meaning that people with such contracts a not able make a mortgage on a house or apartment, buy a refrigerator on a installment payment.

These short-term contract types is made to help the companies hire people, without giving them indeterminate time contracts, which makes them virtually impossible to fire again. Which in my eyes are okay, but not without a system that enables people to have real lifes ( i.e. buy house ect)

So to arrive at the first Berlusconi story, we watch a debate program where a young girl, at 24, asks Berlusconi what he is going to do for all the "precari" (which are those people who has short term contracts) should do to be able to start a family or buy a house with a contract like that.

And he answered "You should perhaps look to marry a millionaire, like my son, or someone who doesn't have such problems,"(link)
