Migration
1975 was the year when Italy switched from being a country of net emigration to one of net immigration. This migration turnaround was actually the result of three distinct but intertwined statistical trends: continuously falling emigration since the 1960s; growing return migration; and the arrival of immigrants from various parts of the world.
Over the last 20-30 years, the inflow of non-EU immigrants has become increasingly the dominant element in Italy's migration dynamics. Intriguingly, the latest estimate for the number of Italian citizens living abroad (3,106,251 on 9.5.06) is almost identical to that for foreign citizens living in Italy (3,035,144 on 31.12.05) Hence the net migrant stock is now zero.
General information
Italy is known for its precarious political life and has had several governments since the end of World War II. The political landscape underwent a seismic shift in the 1990's when the "clean hands" operation exposed corruption at the highest level of politics and big business. Several former prime ministers, politicians and businessmen were implicated and investigated.
Italy was one of the six countries that signed the Paris Treaty setting Europe off on the path to integration. Italy is the fourth largest European economy.
There is a concern over Italy's falling birth rate - the lowest in Europe - it is predicted that it will continue to fall by over a third in the next fifty years. The worry is of an economic nature and its ability to cope with an ageing populous.
