Sažetak
The paper deals with foreign immigration in Italy. Besides an introductory text in which transformation of Italy's migration perspective is indicated, key aspects of recent labour immigration in this country are discussed. The central part of the paper first describes the illustrative example of Tunisian migration to Sicily and later comments on the question of clandestine employment and sojourn of many migrants in the Italian context. Some statistical data and estimates are presented that relate to the quantity and structure of the immigrant population in Italy. Attention is finally focused on the receiving country, i.e. on standpoints and reactions of the Italian milieu and some of its institutions vis-à-vis the presence and employment of immigrants.
Immigration of foreign workers to Italy can be interpreted in diverse ways (as an effect of disfunctions on the labour market, as the reflection of a parallel and competitive labour market, as labour turnover due to excessive emigration in the past). This phenomenon in essence, however, tells us essentially of an extension (“internationalization”) of the migration process, and of the appearance of “younger” migration flows from developing countries, directed towards new receiving areas.
