From the monitoring of flows «alarming data emerge, from some regions, above all Campaniawe recorded a number of applications for work authorization for non-EU citizens during the click day, totally disproportionate to the number of potential employers, be they individuals or companies”.
The prime minister said it Giorgia Meloni, in its CDM information on the topic of migratory flows. «On permits for seasonal work, i.e. for work in the agricultural or tourism-hotel fields, in 2023, out of a total of 282,000 applications, 157,000 arrive from Campania, while 20,000 arrive from Puglia. Except that, for example in the agricultural sector, Puglia has around 12% of Italian agricultural businesses and Campania only 6% – the prime minister recalled -. An even more worrying fact is that given the exorbitant number of applications for authorization, only a minimal percentage of foreigners who have obtained a visa for work reasons based on the ‘Flows Decree’ he then actually signed an employment contract.”
«In Campania, less than 3% of those who enter with a permit then sign a permit work contract. However, a significant gap between the number of people entering Italy for work reasons and the employment contracts that are actually stipulated is a characteristic that many Italian regions have in common, albeit with less frightening numbers”, he explained.

«A significant gap between the number of people entering Italy for work reasons and the employment contracts that are then actually stipulated – he observed – is however a characteristic that many Italian regions have in common, albeit with less frightening numbers. From the data it therefore emerges that: 1. in some territories the number of requests is enormous compared to the absorption capacity of the local production fabric, and is therefore easily apparent. 2. in almost all Italian regions there is a significant gap between those who enter for work purposes and those who actually sign up for a work contract».
