Italy
has announced that it’s currently experiencing labour shortages in a variety of
industries, and it relies significantly on foreign workers to fill job
openings.
Healthcare, social services, research and technology, engineering and construction, and hospitality are predicted to be the most in-demand vocations by the European Labour Authority.
“It
is estimated that between 2023 and 2027, 34.3 per cent of the employment
requirement will be for personnel with tertiary education (university or
vocational training), and 48.1 per cent of profiles will require a secondary
technical-professional education,” says the European Labour Authority (EURES).
The
labour shortage in Italy may benefit foreigners in some occupations. Doctors,
nurses, physiotherapists, healthcare professionals, mathematics and computer
science specialists, ICT technicians, engineers, construction workers, and
restaurant personnel will be the most difficult to fill between 2023 and 2027.
Mail sorters, delivery clerks, and bank officials, on the other hand, are
predicted to have below-average demand and low recruitment difficulty,
indicating a probable fall in need for these occupations.
According
to Italy's Ministry of Interior, over 608,000 pre-applications for non-EU
workers have been made ahead of the annual work visa lottery. For next year,
the quota for non-EU workers is set at 136,000. The vast majority of these
pre-applications are for seasonal jobs in tourism and agriculture,
construction, domestic labour, and healthcare. Earlier this year, the Italian
government made changes to legislation governing foreign workers and residence
permits to streamline the employment and relocation process. Non-EU
citizens who wish to work in Italy must get a work visa, which can be secured
in their home country and applied for at Italian representative offices.
