Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Italy, counted among the countries of recent immigration in comparison with others of "old" immigration, still struggles to recognize the second generations as an integral part of society. According to the most recent estimates of the Ismu Foundation, second-generation young people born in Italy from at least one foreign parent or minor children aged between 0 and 35 reach almost the value of 3 million units. A significant figure that testifies to the start of a new phase of Italian migration history and urges the adoption of renewed theoretical perspectives and interpretative paradigms. The number of children of immigrants in Italy, but also in Europe, is in fact destined to grow. In relation to the second generations in Italy, in line with what is happening in other European countries, there is also a trend of progressive improvement in Italy: the gap between students with foreign and native Italian backgrounds is progressively narrowing and the percentage of Neet between young people of foreign origin is lower than the percentage of Neet (Not in education, employment or training) among young Italian natives. In Italy a new articulated and unpublished process has started which pushes to rethink the contours of our societies in order to enhance its new resources.
