The scientific literature examining the relationship between immigration and the labour market is extensive, with a particular focus on the economic impact of immigration on the host country's welfare system, particularly when addressing the issue of so-called “failed immigrants.”
The theoretical framework for the integration of immigrants into the host country's labour market is based on the international transferability of human capital (Chiswick and Miller, 2009). At the same time, the economic theory of labour market integration suggests that it is primarily influenced by the characteristics of the country of origin, the reason for migration, and the expected duration of migration (Ambrosini and Panichella, 2023).
This study aims to update previous research on foreign workers and the labour market focusing on (still) foreign workers and naturalised ones. We used microdata from the “Labour Force Survey” conducted by Istat.
