The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most profitable and economically important industrial activities in the world, this sector is very broad in fact it brings together the research, manufacturing and marketing of drugs for human or veterinary medicine.
In Italy the chemical-pharmaceutical sector is among the most solid and dynamic sectors, now it is preparing to give new breath with 2000 job opportunities, given that if it has not passed unscathed by the economic crisis which has drastically reduced Italian consumption in recent years .
The announcement was made by the president of Farmindustria, Massimo Scaccabarozzi, during the 2014 public assembly, who declared “The drug companies are ready to invest at least one and a half billion euros in the next three years, of which 470 million have already been declared. And they are ready to create 2,000 new job opportunities for young people”.
In support of what has been declared, they speak clearly of data that we are going to summarize below and which were made available in the 2014 Shareholders' Meeting:
– from 2001 to 2013 the pharmaceutical industry increased productivity by +55% compared to the +1% of the national average,
– in 2013 pharmaceutical exports to Italy grew by 14% and by 64% in the last 5 years,
– from 2008 to 2013l and companies accounted for 34% of the overall increase in manufacturing exports to Italy,
– in 2014 the pharmaceutical sector achieved manufacturing growth of 2.6%, i.e. more than 3 times higher than the average, equal to 0.8%.
– Italy is second only to Germany for the value of pharmaceutical production in the EU with 28 billion, 71% destined for export.
Positive data that bodes well for new hires to be added to the over 62,000 employees in the pharmaceutical sector.

Ed.: despite these numbers, 13,400 jobs have been lost in the last seven years (see: https://www.fedaiisf.it/Start/HDefault.aspx?Newsid=8931 ) and the trend does not seem to stop. Very recent is the news of layoffs in Astellas, Novartis Siena, and previously Abbott, Lundbeck and many others going back in time without counting the sensational Marvecs case.
And what does the union do? In addition to making money on the conciliation of 13,400 people (the gain it implements on each worker made redundant), in 2008 he set up with Farmindustria the "big" project "welfarma" which should relocate the redundant workers. As of 2013, it has relocated as many as 270 out of 13,400 (see: https://www.fedaiisf.it/Start/HDefault.aspx?Newsid=8497 ), pocketing European funds for the relocation and funding from Farmindustria itself and the Ministry of Labour, which recently refinanced it with 1 million euros.
We wonder if the President of Farmindustria, when he makes the statements reported by the press on the 2,000 new jobs, really believes them or is it a joke?
