Abstract
To January 1st, 2007, the foreigners originating from heavy migration countries who were living in Italy had almost reached the threshold of four million persons. A continuous and massive growth, which has led migrants to represent today 5% of the whole Italian population. To mention only the most outstanding phenomena in this connection, established migrants and Italian citizenship acquisitions are continuously increasing, as well as the volume of money transfers to their countries of origin.
As usual, this Report consists of four parts – A general outline, Focus areas, Specific studies and inquiries, The international scenario – in which, basing on the latest statistical data made available, we examined in detail some particular thematic areas, such as Labour, Education, and Health. We also dealt with some particularly relevant issues concerning unaccompanied foreign minors, the Paper of Values, religions in Europe. As regards the international scenario, we focused on the immigration policies enforced by Great Britain and Spain, Chinese mobility, and migrations from Andean countries.

Fondazione Ismu carries out documentation, training, information, study and research activities on themes related to multiethnicity, focusing in particular on international migrations. The Documentation and Research Centre (CeDoc) offers the opportunity to consult a wide library including books and scientific reviews, a constantly updated database, and the possibility to make use of the technical advice of a team of experts in different branches.
