Garo and Ale interview Mario Nava, Director General of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion at the European Commission.

As the highest-ranked Italian Eurocrat, Nava shares insights into the challenges of his role—addressing current and future mismatches in the labor market, safeguarding vulnerable groups, navigating the complexity of minimum wages across member states, and reducing regional disparities within the Union.

In the final part of the conversation, Nava reflects on his academic roots at Bocconi University, where he now teaches, and which named him Alumnus of the Year in 2023—the place where his remarkable journey began.
