In one paragraph, choose one southern European country and state two reasons why its economy has
struggled. Then explain whether you think that country's
economy can improve in the future.

Italy's economy historically struggled due to poor unification between regions, with sicily and venetia, for example, having incredibly different economies that are minimally connected. furthermore, children would usually work the same jobs as their parents, leading to low social mobility and occupations of new jobs. in the future, italy's economy can improve with better unification and public education. cooperation between different industries across regions would be highly beneficial.
