, has many of the same problems. Unemployment is cited at about 30% to 50%, and there is a strong presence of the ''
''.
The economy is based on the tertiary sector, but until 2005 the large
Peroni beer factory was active in Miano, offering work to hundreds of families. After the sale of the company, the plant was closed and awaits the implementation of a major project that aims to create a commercial-recreational center in the former industrial area, completed in 2018. The same situation grips the ''Villa Russo'' clinic for the well-known regional crisis that sees the health sector in the foreground.
A problem of the district, as well as of the entire city and province, is the presence of the ''Camorra'' which prevents its economic, social and civil take-off especially for young people who are often misled by the organization.
And it is within this problem that a group of people has entered to collaborate, to be present both as operators and as citizens, for the construction and promotion of interventions aimed at the needs of the minors of Miano. The opportunity was seized thanks to the "''Granello di Senape"'' project born a year after the approval of law no. 216/1991 with the aim of offering the teenagers of the neighborhood the opportunity to learn a lawful profession. The project wanted to be a bet on the ability to produce alternatives to organized crime, without denying the social problems that arise but trying to solve them starting from the character resources of the boys.
The “G. Toniolo”, the Don Guanella Opera House and the “Obiettivo Uomo” Cooperative who have made available the premises suitable for the exercise of the professional practice (barman, tailoring, beautician, hairdresser, pizza chef, etc). In addition to training, the project provides for the possibility of carrying out an internship in affiliated companies and the possibility of participating in summer camps for younger children. The success of the project was such that the proposing association became a point of reference for all the territorial agencies that deal with minors at risk: from 1992 to 1997 about 600 young people found work.
