57.4% of the unemployed in Spain are over 45 years old

by

The data of the Unemployment registered in February 2025 They are celebrated as the lowest figure in the last 17 years. However, there is a population group every time most of society in society That, far from lowering their unemployment figures like the rest, it does not stop increasing them: those over 45 years. Increasingly older and more unemployed. The aging of the population is not only having a great impact on pensions, but is also reaching unemployment figures. According to the report ‘Labor Market of those over 45’ ‘ Published by the SEPE (Public State Employment Service), in the last two decades, those over 45 have established themselves as the group most affected by unemployment in Spain. In 2000, unemployment between those over 45 barely represented 26.5% of the total unemployed. As reflected in the study of the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy, that figure has grown alarmingly until reaching 57.4% in February 2025, a historical record. The most unemployed group in Spain. The known as “Ageism Rate”, has added records of record since August 2021, showing a very different behavior from other age stripes such as young people under 25 or 35 years old. While unemployment between children under 45 does not stop month by month with 1.1 million unemployed registered by the SEPE For this strip in February 2025 (which represents 23.5% less than in 1999), among those over 45 years of age there was an increase of 169% with respect to the data of the year 2000. Currently, the segment of those over 45 adds 1.49 million unemployed, consolidating itself as the population group most affected by unemployment in Spain. The seniors do not raise their heads. In 2021, a process of recovering economic activity and employment began. General strike fell 35%, going from more than 4 million unemployed to 2,593,449 unemployed that were recorded in February 2025. However, the reduction of unemployment in the strip of those over 45 was 23%, while for workers between 25 and 44 years unemployment was reduced by 46%. This shows that older workers face greater difficulties in rejoining the labor market, even in periods of economic recovery. So the ball is no longer in the roof of job creation, but in the hiring dynamics and Companies preferences. Less contracts for those over 45 years old. According to the official data of hiring of the SEPE, the hiring of over 45 years grew less than the general average, in which the contracts to the youngest showed consolidated growth, while the segment of those over 45 years It showed a stagnation. This group remains the least favored in sectors with high labor rotation. In addition, in months of high seasonality, such as May and June, the age of age can exceed 58%, demonstrating that seniors are frequently excluded in these seasonal hiring campaigns, decanting by younger employees. The measures are not working. In 2023, the Employment Lawdestined to encourage hiring by bonuses those over 45 years in order to avoid long -term unemployment in a segment that still has two decades left for reach retirement age. On the other hand, those over 45 They contribute many years of contribution behind them, what gives them the right to benefits in the form of subsidies, something that does not occur in other sectors of the population (such as those under 25 years old), which impacts more intensity on the coffers of the State. However, and despite The economic benefits For the State that would imply addressing this problem, two years after the employment law was approved, the advances are minimal. Far from reducing, almost two points has grown, reflecting the stagnation of public policies to address this problem.

getting more and less stores get more and less

Something is changing in Inditex. And it is already very noticeable in your accounts. While the textile giant has closed one in four establishments in Spain since 2019, its digital strategy has triggered online sales to exceed 10,000 million euros for the first time, according to its last Financial results. The context. Inditex is in full and deep transformation of its business model, drastically reducing its physical presence while enhancing its digital channels. In the last six years has closed 25.5% of its stores in Spainbut far from affecting their results, total sales have grown by 36.5% in the same period. Why is it important. The Spanish fashion giant is rewriting its own rules, demonstrating that fewer stores do not mean less sales if the online channel focuses well. That online channel already represents 26.3% of the total business, exceeding for the first time the barrier of 10,000 million euros, until reaching 10,163 million in 2024, 12% more than the previous year. Meanwhile, physical store sales grew only 5.9%. In figures: During 2024, Inditex opened 257 establishments in 47 markets, but closed 129. The year ended with 5,563 points of sale compared to 5,692 of 2023. Its app is already used by 218 million users and its websites received 8.1 billion visits, 10% more than the previous year. The company closed the year with total sales of 38,632 million euros, 7.5% more than in 2023. What’s happening. The group is betting on concentrating their activity in less stores, but larger and strategically located, without losing total commercial area. At the same time, he has strengthened his digital ecosystem in that physical environment with innovations such as the elimination of physical alarms or the payment without a box. Your new technology Soft tag or “soft alarm”, already implemented in all Zara stores, improves the customer experience by eliminating traditional alarms, which generate greater friction. A pilot project in four Spanish stores will allow purchases to any point of the establishment, without going through a box. Personnel can identify garments through technology RFIDcreate virtual baskets and charge with mobile devices. The background. The Inditex strategy combines the selective closure of stores with the technological modernization of which it maintains. I have planned investments of 1.8 billion euros in 2025, mainly aimed at optimization of commercial space, technological integration and the improvement of online platforms. Deepen. Inditex’s vision shows that the future of retail is not in a purely online or exclusively physical model, but in the perfect integration of both channels. According to his CEO, Óscar García Maceirasit is an “integrated model” where both channels are feedback, seeing “growth opportunities in both sales channels and markets.” Despite the growth, Inditex shows signs of deceleration. In the first five weeks of 2025, their sales grew only 4% compared to 10.5% of the previous year, causing a 7.5% drop in its price The day of the presentation of results, its worst decrease since 2020.

“With Spherex we will literally map all heaven”

by

NASA has put a new space observatory in orbit: Spherex. This cone -shaped telescope has the mission of creating a complete and detailed map of the sky in infrared light every six months, complementing the observations of the powerful James Webb space telescope. Panoramics of the observable universe. Spherex are the acronym of spectro-pHotometer for the history of the universe, efoch of reion and ices explorer. With its ability to observe the full sky in 102 different infrared colors, the space telescope will complement the findings of the Webb, whose specialty is the deep and detailed observations of specific regions of the universe. In NASA Words: “We will literally map all heaven in 102 infrared colors for the first time in the history of humanity.” Another launch by Spacex. Spherex took off on March 11 In a Falcon 9 rocket to enter polar orbit. He did it from the Vandenberg base of the space force in California next to the Punch Mission, also from NASA. Punch (Polarimeter to Unify The Corona and Heliosphere) are four small satellites designed to study the outer atmosphere of the sun, its crown. Specifically, how the solar wind is generated, responsible for geomagnetic storms that can affect astronauts, satellites and terrestrial infrastructure. Unraveling cosmic inflation. One of the great Spherex telescope objectives It will be to study what happened in the first moments of the universe after the Big Bang: an exponential growth phenomenon known as cosmic inflation. Spherex will map the distribution of more than 450 million galaxies to understand how this event ended up influencing the current structure of the cosmos. Colors and signs of life. Thanks to its infrared spectrograph, Spherex will divide the light captured in hundreds of colors to measure distances, chemical compositions and the historical evolution of the brightness of the universe. In addition to creating the most detailed and colorful infrared map of the cosmos to date, the telescope will look for vital molecules for life, such as water and carbon dioxide, hidden in interstellar clouds of gas and dust inside our galaxy. Why a cone. Spherex’s cone -shaped design is not just aesthetic. It is a passive cooling system that does not need electricity or refrigerants to maintain the cold ship, which will allow it to detect the weak infrared emissions of distant objects without thermal interference. Despite its global vision of the cosmos, Spherex will capture light from galaxies never observed individually, giving clues about objectives of interest for more detailed studies by the Webb and other space telescopes.

the fastest and most efficient transistor that exists

by

Transistors are the cornerstone of Integrated circuits. The first as we know them were currently invented in 1947 by John Bardeen, William Shockley and Walter Brattain, three physicists from Bell laboratories. A simple way to define a transistor invites us to describe it as A semiconductor electronic device which is capable of responding to an input signal by giving us a certain exit. An electronic amplifier, for example, will increase the power, voltage or the current of the signal that we place at its input, using an external power supply. There are several types of transistors (bipolar, specific contact, field effect, uniunion, unique electron, phototransistors, organic electrochemicals, etc.), but, fortunately, we do not need to deepen them much more to be able to move forward with this article. It is enough for us to know two more data about these devices. On the one hand, what They are active elements within the integrated circuits. And, in addition, that those that have allowed us to achieve the level of integration used by current lithographic techniques are those of field effect (FET). Bismuth transistors promise us to change the rules of the game of chips The Spanish physicist Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and his MIT colleagues (Massachusetts Technology Institute), in the US, they talked about the potential of Boro Nituro in a scientific article that they published in Science In 2021. At that time his proposal was only theoretical, but three years later They brought their ideas to practice. And yes, they have enormous potential. What they did, in short, is to manufacture a new type of transistors using an ultra -elapsed ferroelectric material constituted of boron nitride (it is an extremely hard compound formed in the same proportion by boron and nitrogen). This Chinese transistor is 40% faster and 10% more efficient than the most advanced Finfet transistors of Intel and TSMC The starting point of the researchers of the University of Beijing we are talking about in the head of this article is different. In the scientific text they have published in Nature Materials They argue to have designed A GAAFET type field effect transistor (Gate-Lall-Around Field-Effect Transistor) that is 40% faster and 10% more efficient from an energy point of view than the most advanced finger transistors that use Intel and TSMC today. Sounds good. GaaFet technology is already The present of the semiconductorsso TSMC, Intel and Samsung have been working on it for several years. However, these Chinese transistors have a characteristic that clearly unchecks them from the devices that are using the three companies I just mentioned: they use bismuth instead of silicon. The use of this chemical element, according to these Chinese scientists, allows these transistors to solve the limitations imposed by silicon when implementing integrated circuits that They go beyond the 3 nm. These statements by Peng Hailin, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Beijing and leader of this research, express with roundness Why these transistors are important: “It is the fastest and most efficient transistor ever created (…) If innovations in chips based on existing materials are considered a shortcut, then our transistors based on 2D materials are like ‘changing lane’ (…) Our research shows that the GaaFet 2D exhibits a performance and energy efficiency comparable to silicon commercial transistors, which makes them promising candidates for The next generation of semiconductors“Hopefully it is like that. I hope these transistors succeed when leaving the laboratory and be adopted by the industry. Image | TSMC More information | Nature Materials In Xataka | Cobalt is one of the most coveted metals.

Samsung is losing money with its exynos processors. No one knows what your shock plan will be

by

Samsung Electronics has a problem with its LSI division (Large Scale Integration) System. This, in charge of the design and development of chip and semiconductor solutions, is the one behind the processors, sensors and circuits integrated in the different Samsung devices. Not only is it responsible for manufacturing Exynosit is also the one behind the image sensors ISOCEL or the company’s modems 5g. According to Korean sourcesSamsung is considering integral reorganization to save the situation of this division, currently in an unwanted economic situation. The company has denied everything. Despite this, there is something undeniable: We do not know what will happen to exynos processors in high -end modelsand the exynos 2600 will be one of the keys to the future of this division. The exynos division is losing money The System LSI division has registered Estimated losses in 1 billion Wones in 2024a result that is partly attributed to the inability to integrate the processor Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. This model ended up reaching the market with Qualcomm processor, after the desired performance in its own processor was not achieved. Kwon Hyung-Man, General Director of the System LSI Division, acknowledged in February that The performance of the business unit will remain slow Due to the loss of launching this chip for the Galaxy S25 series. To face the crisis, there are those who propose that the company would unite the chips manufacturing units with the manufacturing of mobile phones. Having both the design of smartphones and the chips under the same roof, a door opens to improve the efficiency and integration of the components. A challenge, since this integration could negatively affect the financial performance of this last division. Although Korean sources point in this direction, Samsung Electronics has denied that (for the moment), this reorganization will become effective. The future of exynos 2600 The success or failure of the next generation of processors, The exynos 2600 could be decisive for the future of the LSI division. Currently, the company is focused on the development of this chip using the process SF2 (2 nanometers), hoping to reverse the current situation. Recently, the initial stage of exynos 2600 has been completed, which marks an important milestone in the manufacturing process, since it implies the transition from production to production. Samsung faces a huge challenge. Qualcomm is in one of the best moments in its history, with a 8 elite that has shown unprecedented performance, Mediatek planting And, for the first time in many years, at the height of its direct rivals, and an Apple that remains one of the fundamental pieces at the time of mark the way in chips yield. Internal coordination and efficiency in the development of the next Exynos 2600 chip will be key to recovering profitability in this division. The final decision on the reorganization of the System LSI division and the future of Exynos could have a significant impact on the company’s strategy in the coming years.

In his efforts to cut and fire workers in the US, Elon Musk has gone one step further: Italy

by

In February an unprecedented event occurred in the United States. The government efficiency department (Doge) led by Elon Musk in the Trump administration, the same person in charge of carry out those “cuts” that he has staged with the chainsier that Milei gave him, fired 350 officials of the energy department. He had gone his hand so much that he had to rectify to recover specialists in the assembly of nuclear eyelets. The chainsaw Musk has just transferred borders, but he has met Italy. The controversy in Aviano. It is public and notorious. Elon Musk, known today for his aggressive management and reduction of cost management, has just generated A new international controversy After imposing its productivity control system at the American Avian Air Base, in northern Italy. An email Aimed at Italian employees The base required that they report five weekly achievements, under threat of dismissal if they did not. This type of measure, already implemented in the United States, has collided fully with the Italian labor system, which guarantees strong protections and rights to its workers. The incident has caused an immediate reaction of the unions, the Italian government and public opinion, triggering a confrontation between the business model of Musk and the labor laws of the European nation. Musk mail and surprise. The message in question was sent to Aviano Base Employees that work in areas such as restoration, maintenance and logistics, essential services for the functioning of US military facilities in Italy. Although the order was supposed to be aimed at Washington employees, the mail Italian workers were forwardedwhich generated confusion and alarm. As we said, in Italy the right to work It is constitutionally protected And contracts offer some job stability, so Musk’s demand has been seen as an unacceptable interference. I told New York Times Roberto del Savio, union representative of the employees of the base, his immediate rejection of the directive: “We are in Italy. Here are precise rules, and thank God for it. ” Not just that. The rejection was not limited only to the workers of Aviano. In total, around 4,000 Italian civil employees They work in US bases in the country, serving 15,000 American soldiers and guaranteeing the operation of facilities that operate as small American peoples on European soil. @alberico_dip Anch was not vero io gli risponderei così ♬ Original Suone – 😂 Alberico di Pasquale 😂 The Italian labor system. The European country, as we said, has one of the most protected labor systems in Europe. Of course, with his “Peros”, but the laws They guarantee job stabilityunionization and rights that are difficult to modify, especially in the public sector. Unlike the United States, where companies can fire employees with relative ease, in Italy the dismissals are more complicated and require solid legal justifications. In this regard, Pierpaolo Bombardieri explainedgeneral secretary of the UIL union, which Musk’s mail is “unacceptable and aberrant.” In fact and given the outrage generated, the unions sent letters to the Italian government and the United States embassy demanding clarifications about whether these types of measures could affect Italian workers of the US bases in the country. What do the bases say. Current norms establish that Italian civilian employees are only obliged to respond to instructions if they come directly from the United States government, not if they are tested emails. However, it is not clear if the Department of Defense plans to extend these productivity control practices to local workers. Reactions in Italy. The episode has not only generated indignation in the unions, but also became A mockery theme In the nation. The rigidity of the Italian labor system is seen by some as a guarantee of stability, but by others as an obstacle to modernization. For example, right -wing journalist and commentator Nicola Porro wrote on his blog: “Italy would also need Musk’s ax.” In social networks, a video of the content creator was popularized Alberico di Pasqualewho simulated how an Italian worker would respond to Musk’s mail. Of course, The video went viral Quickly, humorously reflecting many Italians about their work culture and the clash with the vision of extreme productivity of Musk. Musk, Trump and uncertainty. Beyond the punctual controversy in Aviano, the incident occurs in a context of uncertainty about the commitment of the United States with its military bases in Europe. Trump has insisted that European countries They must assume greater costs In his own defense, which has generated speculation about possible cuts in military bases such as Aviano. In fact, in parallel to the controversy, the US government froze credit cards Used by Italian employees of Aviano to buy equipment and stopped new hiring. Decisions that have increased concern among workers, who fear that the pressure to reduce costs will end up affecting their jobs. Hence, the words of Emilio Fargnoli, union representative, seem to be the voice of the majority: “Musk can do what he wants in the United States. If there are happy with that, perfect. But here, no. “ Image | Nathan Hughes, Gage Skidmore In Xataka | Elon Musk fired hundreds of employees and now he has to hire them again: they were experts in nuclear weapons In Xataka | 131 Microsoft Excel templates to organize everything

a radical change regarding its predecessor that points to more layoffs

by

TO Lip-bu Tan A nuclear accident changed his life. He was a prodigious student, and after graduating in Physics with only 19 years at Nanyang University in Singapore, he completed a Master in Nuclear Engineering at MIT. That seemed to be his way, but in 1979 the Three Mile Island accident It caused a wave of pessimism about the future of these centrals and, consequently, of job offers. So he ended up studying a Master in Business Administration at the University of San Francisco. And from there they began their successes. He created a risk capital fund called Walden and focused on the semiconductor industry and alternative energies. Among its investments in the semiconductor sector Highlights what he did for example in Annapurna Labswhich ended up being bought by Amazon and became a fundamental pillar of the development of chips used by this giant in its infrastructure. Also invested in Nuvia, which would end up being bought by Qualcomm In 2021. In addition to his role as an investor, in 2004 he was appointed member of the Council of the Cadence Design Systems semiconductor company. In 2008, he was appointed co-cup, and ended up leading the company alone from 2009 to 2021. During his management the actions of Cadence grew by 3,200% value, and became for example one of Apple’s strategic partners. That successful management made it so became a usual signing in administration councils. In addition to participating in that of several academic institutions, he directs the advice of Hewlett Pckard Enterprise, Schneider Electric and, even more interesting, SoftBank. So did not match Gelsinger, and that is a track for the future But even more striking than his position in Softbank is the one he had in Intel: from 2022 to 2024 he was a member of the Board of Directors of this company. Left his post in August 2024, and curiously He did it for his differences with the management of Pat Gelsingerthe then CEO of the company. According to Reutersthat was due to several reasons. For example, I was concerned about the increasing number of Intel employees and also a culture in which bureaucracy and risk aversion were too settled. He also had doubts about his strategy in artificial intelligence, and failed to promote an initiative for Intel to achieve third -party manufacturing contracts. All these conflicts make clear what is so – that is 65 years old – probably raises for the immediate future of Intel. Analysts like Patrick Moorhead They believe that the new CEO will make important expenses of expenses, and that probably means one thing: layoffs. The question is whether Intel’s division will also boost so that the manufacturing unit (Foundry) is separated from the design and development of processors. It is the same thing that AMD did in 2009 and it went welland there are many experts who have recommended that That split is carried out. There is also the unknown of how Intel will also become a reference in the chips segment for ia. They certainly have products promising, like Gaudi 3but they need to turn them into an element that giants of the AI ​​hugged, something that does not seem to happen. Own A message wrote yesterday To all employees, and a message was clear: “Intel will be a company focused on engineering“. He did not give keys about the steps he will take in the short term, but his alleged past differences With Pat Gelsinger they seem to make it clear that his management will be different from the one raised by the Excus. It has an important initial advantage to start with good foot: Everyone knows him. Both inside Intel and outside. His potential clients in the company also, especially because they have probably done business with him while he was in the Intel Council or while CEO of Cadence, who worked with numerous technology and semiconductor firms. It maintains good relations with Lisa her from AMD and with Jensen Huang, from Nvidia, They say in Reuters. Now it remains to be seen if all these contacts and experience make Intel exceed the greatest crisis in their history.

The Chinese car aspires to gain ground in Europe consolidating in the low range. Renault’s response: a diesel engine

by

Chinese cars have arrived in Europe with the clear intention of putting a good bite in the electric car market. At this time, Byd is Looking for a third floor To build its future models, the SAIC group has a A good asset with mg and independent companies such as Xpeng either Child They also try to make a hole. But, really, if a market has managed to penetrate the Chinese car is in the cheap car. In Spain we have good examples. Although Byd’s performance has not been bad, the real impulse to its sales has come with A plug -in hybrid that clearly competes in price. While, Omoda enrolled thousands of cars In a few months thanks to a Omoda 5 that he liked for its aesthetics and a competitive price. Mg already knows what it is to do with the First position in sales in our country. It has logic that the real entrance door For these companies it is to compete for price. In Europe, most manufacturers They have turned their backs to the cheapest vehicles and even Dacia has justified claiming that the obligations of The European Union requires them to raise the price of their cars and prevents them from being equally competitive as before. To this we must add that Chinese vehicles with combustion engines They are not affected by tariffsas it happens with the electric ones, which allows them (even more) to play to improve the price of European companies to gain market share, make a customer base and, later, to climb little by little. And to stand up, Renault has opted for a different strategy: to offer a type of clear setback but that allows to compete in price and that, in addition, it has less and less rivals in the market. Yes, in some markets a Renault Mégane has put on sale with diesel engine. A diesel engine as an alternative Among the European companies that have pressed the most in recent months to alive combustion engines, Renault has taken the singing voice. In fact, the company has taken forward Horsea joint company with the Chinese giant Geely to continue developing engines moved by fossil fuels. Those of the rhombus, in addition to betting on the electric with force, have also made it clear that they trust in the future where hybrid and electric living together In harmony with pure combustion engines, the case may be. With this in mind, they have launched the Electric Renault 5 And soon we will see on the streets the new Electric Renault 4. In recent times, the range has been renewed in depth with the Renault southern and the Rafale or an update that has left us to Scenic As a completely electric car. This renewal has had its consequences. Classic models like Mégane have said goodbye because, again, They only have an electric version. Sure? Where Renault needs to offer cars with more tight prices continues to maintain the Mégane Gran Coupéan option of three volumes of the compact classic. And, in addition, he does it with a diesel motorization of which We had to say goodbye in Spain. In countries such as Poland or Czech Republic, where electricity are testimonial and diesel continues to represent an important part of sales, the French are clear that this mechanic is still essential. In fact, it has been in Poland where the company has rescued this car to put it on the street with the format already mentioned next to a 1.5 dci engine of 115 hp, they explain in Auto Swiat. In that market, the diesel offer is being reduced and it is a good occasion to fight with a car that has already been made the investment, it is cheap to put it in the market and, in addition, it has a technology that Chinese manufacturers do not have. Collect in Acea That in Poland although diesel sales have been reduced, in January of this year they continue to represent 8.3% market share but electric and plug -in hybrids barely reach 6%. In the Czech Republic it makes even more sense because the diesel market share is a spectacular 19.4%. And vehicles without electrification of any kind total 67.8% of total sales. However, we must bear in mind that EU emission regulations They continue and although They have been delayed from 2025 to 2027this last year remains red in the calendar because the average emissions that show sales in these three next exercises must be below 93.6 gr/km of CO2. This means that with a car like this, whose engine is 118 gr/km of CO2, they would need to sell 1.5 electric to compensate. Or an electric and a plug -in hybrid. One more reason to understand why Renault only bets on this type of mechanics where it needs to put its cheapest cars on the market and where electrification advances at a very slow pace.
