They are mainly employed in firms that have a lower level of productivity
The influx of foreigners in Italy in the last decade has sustained occupation in Italy and helped prevent Italian population from ageing, a new report by the Bankitalia (Italy’s Central bank) shows.
Foreigners have a higher level of occupation compared to Italians but their income is significantly lower, the report shows, attributing this to the fact that many foreigners have a lower level of education.
They are also more likely to be employed in firms that, on average, have a lower level of productivity.
The report also shows that the increase in the number of foreigners is not linked to the increase in unemployment rate of Italians.
The increase in the number of foreigners with technical skills could have sustained the demand for managerial staff which requires higher skills mainly held by Italians, the report shows.
