Looking for Immigration Statistics Dossier Caritas First national conference of Italians abroad (Rome, 11-15 December 2000) - The Italians in the world who have retained citizenship almost four million (3,930,499 This is the data updated consular registers the month of October 2000). The Italian consulates, scattered all over the world, performing office records in the various countries on the basis of direct contacts with our emigrants. - In turn the AIRE, the Registry of Italians resident abroad managed by the Ministry of Interior in cooperation with municipalities, showing the cancellation of registration conducted by the municipalities themselves: a bureaucratic more formal proceedings, that is not always performed by those who travel abroad: at the end of May 2000 were 2,756,000 registered trasferitisi Italian abroad, with an underestimation of more than one million units compared with the observed consulates. The AIRE, however, is rich in details about the regional origin of Italians abroad trasferitisi. Therefore, using these breakdowns, and projects on 4 million Italians abroad, you can have a more articulated. - The migration statistics are complex and data acquired from the countries of origin do not correspond exactly to those of host countries. Influence in this respect not only the detection systems but also the acquisition of citizenship, which have now arisen and that does not necessarily entail the loss of the Italian. - The flow of older you can imagine, in most cases, acquisition of citizenship on the ground and if anything there is the problem of estimating the number of oriundi. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1995 spoke of 58.5 million oriundi, of which 38.8 million in Latin America, 16.1 million in North America, 2 million in Europe and 0.5 million in Oceania: in 2000, according an estimate of the Ministry, the number should take place between 60 and 70 million. - Most of the four million Italians in the world, who have retained citizenship, are at the expatriation of flows to us closer in time, flows continued to this day the physiological rhythm of about 40/50 thousand l ' years with the involvement of the prevailing South (30%) and Islanders (24%) but also those of the Center (16%) and North (30%), as the average derived from recent years'80 until 1996. The countries of settlement of Italians Abroad - The first four countries ranked by the number of Italians are living in Europe, Germany (688,000), Switzerland (582,000) and France (378,000) and, in America, Argentina (580,000). These four countries, with 2,224,000 attendance, receive more than half of Italian citizens in the world: among them Germany remains firmly on his head. E 'was mentioned that this list affects obviously the process of acquiring citizenship locally. - There is a second group, consisting of 7 countries, with values between 100 and 300 thousand presences, including the representation overseas is prevalent: 307,000 Brazil, Belgium 287.00, U.S. 215,000, Britain 153,000, Canada 132,000 , Venezuela 130,000 and 119,000 Australia - The third category (between 10,000 and 100,000 attendances) is composed of a group of 10 countries: Uruguay, South Africa, Chile, Spain, Holland (these first five exceed the 30,000 attendance) and, therefore, from Peru, Luxembourg, Austria, Monaco and Colombia. - There are nine countries belonging to the fourth group (between 2,500 and 10,000 Italians): Greece, Sweden, Croatia, San Marino, Israel, Ecuador, Egypt, Denmark and Mexico. - Followed by last all other countries in the world with a less than 2500 units. Marcinelle on August 8 1956: the smoke of the fire at the coal mine of Bois du Cazier EUROPA Marcinelle on August 8 1956: the smoke of the fire at the coal mine of Bois du Cazier - It is thus that the Italian presence in world concerns in predominantly Europe (2,207,638 presences, equivalent to 56.2%, of which 1,638,436 in the EU) and Latin America (1,161,197 attendance: 29.5%) and still measure significant, albeit smaller, North America (346,440 attendance: 8.8%) and Australia (119,000: 3.0%). - In summary, in 10 Italians around the world, approximately 6 are in Europe, 3 in Latin America and 1 in Anglo-Saxon countries overseas (U.S., Canada and Australia). In Asia and Africa are very small settlements of Italians: the most blatant exception is the South Africa with 38,000 Italians. - Back a useful comparison with countries of origin of immigrants settled in Canada over the past 30 years. Africa (3 presences in 10) and Asia (2 out of 10) are well represented, as are the countries of Eastern Europe (3 out of 10): instead there are a citizen of the European Union and Latin American every 10 immigrants. As we Italians, when we were a poor country, we have taken the path that led us in the more developed countries, just as they did to us over recent poorly developed countries. Latin America, which has long been an important outlet of migration has become in turn a pole of exodus due to a development process unsatisfactory result. Junction between regions of origin and destination countries - In order to identify regional preferences in migratory outlets need to refer to the total breakdown of Italians in the world: North 29.0%, 11.1% Central, South and 39.0% Islands 20.9%. - The presence of Italians in Europe is characterized by a stronger presence in south: * particularly high in Germany (79.6%, the first group than the Sicilian: 215,000 persons) and Belgium (67.3%, the first group still Sicilian: 91,000 persons); * smaller, but still a majority, France (51.6%, the Sicilian team first: 60,000), Britain (56.1%, the first group that Campania: 37,000) and Holland ( 53.6%, the first group that Sardinian: 7,000); * low in Spain (12.2%, the first group that Lombard: 6,000) and Luxembourg (47.8%, the first group that Pugliese: 7.000). - In Latin America are better represented regions of the North-Central Italy: Brazil (68.8%, the first group that veneto: 77,000), Chile (87.8%, the first group that Lombard: 4.000), Peru (87 2%, the first group that Ligurian: 5,000) and Uruguay (63.8%, the first group that Lombard: 8.000). In Argentina the regions of north-central Italy have roughly the same weight as those southern (but the first group is the Calabrian with 90,000 units); in Venezuela, however, outweigh the southern (70%) and the first group is to Campania (28,000). - Also in North America dominated southern regions: United States (74.8%, the Sicilian team first: 55,000) and Canada (69.5%, the first group that Calabrian: 24.000). - I also prevail in southern Australia (71.8%, the first group that Calabrian: 29,000), while in South Africa are the regions for the first North-Central Italy (the first group of Friulian: 5,000). - More than half of Italians in the world (59.9%) comes from the South, almost one third from North and just over 10% from the regions of the Center. - Currently residing abroad seven Italians than 100 people remained in Italy, however, with a weight varies depending on the areas. In regions of North and Central ratio is 4 emigrants per 100 inhabitants, while in the south there are more than 11 emigrants per 100 inhabitants. - In the northern area marked by a greater presence abroad is the North East: compared to 100 residents in the region are 13.5 residents abroad for the Friuli Venezia Giulia and 7 residents abroad and for the Veneto that for the Trentino Alto Adige. - In the center, the area marked dall'emigrazione least, is an exception to the Marche region of which 7% are located abroad. - In the south, compared to the average of 11 abroad every 100 residents, located above the Abruzzi, Calabria, Basilicata and Sicily with some 15 residents abroad. One case even more significant is the Molise region where more than one fifth of the population is abroad (27.3%). - Taking the comparison with the recent foreign immigration in Italy (one and a half million residents in early 2000), it should be noted that while 7% of the Italian population has been welcomed abroad (4 million people), is 2.6% of the impact of foreign residents on 57 million 680.
