South more and more old and poor

"South more and more old and poor: 
growth in the escape of the young people in the North.

Based on the data SVIMEZ, 64% of the southern citizens, more than two out of three, who in 2011 left the South for a region of Centre-North had a medium-high degree, diploma or degree. The South then continues to bear the costs of its skilled human capital but to be impoverished by exporting it in a narrow sense, that is, no return. And remittances of time that workers sent south to the North to the South today, there are more, indeed: it seems that traveling in the opposite direction. Given that the growth forecast for 2014 has no encouraging signs, expect the new government measures to stem this trend definitely tough. "

This was stated by the President of the SVIMEZ Adriano Giannola in his report at the international conference "The new Italian emigration" which was held today at the University Ca 'Foscari of Venice.

"Faced with the latest ISTAT data further loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs lost in Italy last year, continued the President, the crisis seems to feed the territorial inequalities, as demonstrated by the data SVIMEZ on poverty. Dividing 100 households in the South into five classes from 20 one from the richest to the poorest, shows that 62% of households in the South, that is, two out of three, belong to the poorer classes.
In this context, from the demographic point of view, it is confirmed with increasing evidence as the South has lost the traditional role of the pelvis Italy's growth. On the contrary: from here to the next 50 years we expect to lose more than 4.2 million inhabitants compared to an increase of 4.5 million in the Centre-North, despite the positive trend that the increase of immigrants is at stake is an elderly every three inhabitants, and substantive equality among people of working age and those too old or too young to do so, resulting in problems of welfare and sustainability of the system.
