According to Istat, more than 21,000 young adults aged 25 to 34 left Italy in 2023 (+21.2% from 2022). Young graduates' returns home are restricted, totaling 6,000 units and are declining (-4.1 percent from 2022). The net outcome is a loss of 16 thousand talented young resources, for a total of 97 thousand over ten years. This outflow of knowledge and training is even more apparent in the context of the significant increase in higher education, particularly among women, between 1992 and 2023. Specifically, the percentage of graduates aged 25-34 increased from 7.2 to 30.6 percent (and 37.1 percent among women). This change has made a substantial contribution to the enhancement of the opportunities for access and permanence in the labor market, particularly for women. However, it has not slowed down emigration, which is also attributed to the low level of wages and reduced social mobility.
