"Healthy youth" - A project to promote safe and healthy lifestyles for young workers

Healthy Youth project, realised by ISS (National Institute of Health) and financed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, aims to promote a culture of healthy lifestyles among young workers. In fact unhealthy lifestyles (poor diet, excessive drinking, smoking, lack of exercise) not only impact on the health of the individual, but also have repercussions at work, with a continually rising economic cost, which threatens to undermine the welfare system.
