Trade associations and government officials convened a meeting in Rome to discuss the future of digital professions. The theme of the "Creator Economy" was discussed on this occasion. This sector is expanding and encompasses individuals who generate online content, including digital creators and influencers. Italian authorities are developing new legislation to ensure social security and contribution protections for these workers, who often lack guaranteed rights. During the event, government representatives announced the upcoming release of an official circular outlining obligations and benefits for content creators. This is a critical step toward legally recognizing these professions and including them into the country's social protection system. Among the primary speakers, Gabriele Fava, a representative of the Italian public social security organization (INPS), emphasized the significance of developing clear and adaptable standards for the sector. Marina Elvira Calderone, Minister of Labour, stated that the expansion of digital work necessitates changes to the legislation to ensure long-term pensions and social security. Massimo Bitonci, the government's spokesman for industry and Made in Italy, emphasized the necessity to regulate over 450 new developing professions. The overall goal is to create a regulatory framework that protects people working in the digital sector while avoiding excessive bureaucracy. Given the rapid global development of digital professions, this governmental intervention is viewed as a model that other countries can follow.
