Labor market and migratory flows in Italy during the current economic crisis.

Abstract

The economic crisis has greatly slowed both the increase in the foreign population and the increase in foreign workers. However, in absolute numbers, both groups have grown. The reason for work as a cause of entry has strongly fallen until 2015, while the reunification of the family has increased. Until 2013 the employment rate fell strongly and the unemployment rate increased, however, since 2014 the situation has slightly improved for both rates. The crisis has worsened working conditions: black labor, demotion and occupational segregation in the less strategic sectors have increased.
