Italy's Government Introduces New Work Permit Plan
Italy's right-wing government has revealed plans to issue 500,000 work permits for non-EU workers over the period from 2026 to 2028. The initiative aims to ease labor shortages affecting multiple industries across the country.
Labor Demand and Workforce Gaps
Many businesses are struggling to fill vacancies as younger Italians show little interest in manual or blue-collar positions. Luxury establishments in Rome hope the new policy will help restore full operational capacity.
“We are currently working on three construction sites. There aren’t enough workers to complete all projects,” said Arben Mece, a chartered surveyor at Novalux Construction Company.
Italy’s aging population and the increasing number of citizens seeking jobs abroad pose additional challenges. Estimates indicate that one in three Italian companies plans to hire non-EU employees in the coming year to respond to workforce needs.
Hospitality Sector and Ongoing Concerns
“There are thousands of properties here, and everyone is always looking for new employees,” noted Gaetano Lauro, a manager at The Inn at the Roman Forum.
Despite the promise of the program, doubts persist regarding the effectiveness of the Decreto Flussi in addressing irregular immigration, especially in agriculture, where undocumented labor continues to be prevalent due to lower wages.
Author's Summary
The Italian government’s large-scale work permit plan aims to resolve labor shortages but faces scrutiny over enforcement and migrant labor regulation.
