This paper is concerned with the analysis of differences in employment and wage growth rates inside and outside Italian industrial districts. On the basis of national statistical data, we compare employment and wage differentials in manufacturing industries between district and non-district areas. The aim is to investigate whether the industrial district model generates better labour conditions for sustaining employment performance and wage levels.
