Abstract

The essay analyzes the system of income support in the event of unemployment, introduced in Italia by Law n. 184/2014 (so-called Jobs Act). The new legislation aims to simplify and rationalize the set of rules previously in force, by introducing rules more coherent and coordinated. The A. focuses on the essential features of the new legislation, specifically with regard to income support guaranteed at the termination of employment contract, highlighting the problematic aspects of this complex matter.
