Non-EU nationals account for one in seven of Italy's workers - INPS

The number of non-EU nationals working

in Italy grew by more than 35% between 2019 and 2025 and they

now account for one-seventh of the nation's work force, INPS

President Gabriele Fava said as he presented the

social-security-and-pensions agency's 25th annual report at the

Lower House on Thursday.

"Setting aside ideological divisions, this is a statistic that

must be taken seriously," Fava said.

"It highlights how a growing proportion of the country's

productive capacity and tax base depends on the ability to

manage migration flows, directing them toward the needs of the

productive system and supporting them with pathways to training,

legality, integration, and regular employment," he added,

speaking of the need for "a pact of coexistence and

responsibility".
