Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini has put labour at the centre of its activities - from research to cultural promotion - with the aim of exploring and discussing the most topical and pressing issues concerning employment, labour protection and social security, adopting rigorous scientific methodologies and an interdisciplinary approach.
Economia e Lavoro promotes debate among those social, political, cultural and economic sectors committed to social change and democratic development. It represents a way to continue the thinking of the father of the Statute of the Workers, and for scholars it represents a laboratory for the analysis and interpretation of changes in society and in the labour market.

The book "Una stagione del riformismo. Giacomo Brodolini a 40 anni dalla sua scomparsa." has been published and is now available in "Le Culture del Socialismo, Quaderni della Fondazione Brodolini, n° 2, 2010."
