Abstract
"As three mass legalisations have revealed, migrants in Italy were predominantly staying on without a permit and without being entitled to pursue regular work. It was further uncovered that many legal migrants carried out unregistered work in agriculture, building, housekeeping, street trading, small manufacturing firms and within urban services.... Migratory chains transmit an image of Italy being a country where it is easy to stay and to earn an income, even in the absence of a permit to stay and the presence of a significant underground economy means that Italy exerts a particular pull effect on those migrants more prone to accepting irregular conditions." excerptKeywords: Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Conditions; Economic Factors; Employment Status; Europe; Human Resources; Illegal Migrants; International Migration; Italy; Labor Migration; Macroeconomic Factors; Mediterranean Countries; Migrants; Migration; Occupations; Population; Population Dynamics; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status; Southern Europe
