The Twenty-sixth Italian Report on Migrations 2020

The 26th Report on migrations by ISMU Foundation, now in its thirtieth year\r\nof operation, situates migration phenomena in Italy within the broader\r\nframework of the sudden outbreak and spread of COVID-19. The report\r\nanalyzes the enduring impact of the pandemic on migration flows as well as\r\non foreign residents in Italy. Statistical aspects and analyses of health, labour,\r\nand education are complemented with an in-depth study of the Italian legal\r\nframework, with particular regard to the most important legislative innovation on migration introduced in 2020: the regularization of migrant workers.\r\nThe report is further complemented with detailed analyses of the link\r\nbetween immigration, politics, and the media, of racism, and of discrimination during the pandemic. Finally, the report devotes particular attention\r\nto the European arena, focusing on the new perspectives for European\r\nmigration policy.
