Country profile
Italy
Italy has a long history as a country of immigration and emigration. Located at the centre of the Mediterranean region, it is a gate into the EU along the Western Mediterranean route. Research will be conducted in the region of Campania with Eastern European, West African, and South Asian immigrant communities. Fieldwork focuses on domestic work and cleaning in the metropolitan area of Naples. Additionally, fieldwork on agricultural labour will be conducted in the rural areas surrounding Caserta. Attention will be especially paid to the overlapping of these sectors and the consequent labour mobility between urban and rural settings. In Italy, irregularity with respect to migrants concerns both the high number of undocumented migrants living in Italy and the high rates of irregularity and informality that characterize employment and working conditions of migrant workers, contributing to the development of a “dark grey” labour market.
