Abstract

The economic and financial crisis begun in 2007-2008 has witnessed an increase in the international migratory flows of young Italians, especially of the high-skilled ones. The Italian case is very peculiar since Italy is one of the OECD countries and is the fourth largest economy in the European Union. The results presented in this paper are based on in-depth interviews conducted with fifteen young Italians with a university degree. The main topics addressed include: (i) personal and individual characteristics of the young migrants, (ii) main motivations and determinants of mobility decision, (iii) mobility experience, (iv) future life prospects and plans. Our research shows that the international mobility of high-skilled young Italians is due to structural and systemic factors as much as driven by psychological and cultural elements.

La crisis económico-financiera desencadenada en 2007-2008 determinó un aumento en la migración internacional de los jóvenes italianos, y en especial de aquellos altamente calificados. Se trata de un caso sumamente particular, no solo porque el país es miembro de la OCDE, sino porque es la cuarta economía más importante en la Unión Europea. Los resultados expuestos en este artículo se basan en entrevistas en profundidad realizadas con quince jóvenes italianos universitarios. En concreto, el artículo aborda (i) las características personales e individuales de los jóvenes migrantes, (ii) las principales causas y motores de la movilidad, (iii) la experiencia vivida y (iv) las expectativas y planes de futuro. El estudio demuestra que los motivos que impulsan a los jóvenes italianos altamente calificados a emigrar dependen de factores estructurales y sistémicos, así como a factores psicológicos y culturales.
