Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] In Italy, immigrant people are mainly placed in a "secondary" job market, made up of manual jobs, which require low qualifications and result in employment conditions of little value, both in terms of remuneration and stability (IDOS, 2022): a situation which hardly changes with the increase in the number of years spent in Italy or with length of work and which only partially changes with the acquisition of a qualification. Almost 18% of foreign graduates carry out a low-specialization profession (0.8% of Italians) and 14% a blue-collar profession (1.4% of Italians), which leads to a waste of the innovation potential that these people could bring to the host nation defined as brain waste. Migrants have a greater risk of being trapped in the lower strata of the labor market, which sees them even more victims of the already low social mobility. The systemic and multilevel challenges within the country system, which hinder substantial equality in access to employment opportunities, job inclusion and career advancement by people resident locally but born abroad, if not adequately faced generate the phenomenon called "canvas ceiling" (Lee et al., 2020), which refers to the more well-known "glass ceiling" concerning all women, who are further penalized if they have a migratory background.
