In its International Migration Outlook 2025, the OECD characterizes Italy as undergoing transformation in its approach to managing migration flows: a decline in new arrivals, coupled with the deepening integration of existing residents. Long-term immigrants totaled over 169,000 in 2024, a decrease from the previous year, while citizenship acquisitions reached over 210,000, one of the highest levels in Europe. According to the OECD, this figure reflects the growing stability of the foreign population, which is becoming an increasingly important element of the Italian social fabric. Romania, Albania, and Morocco continue to have the greatest communities, although countries in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are increasingly expanding their presence. According to the research, Italy "confirms itself as a significant but not always permanent destination", with some migrants moving on to other European nations in quest of better job possibilities. In recent years, the government has implemented efforts to make immigration more targeted, including immigration decrees geared to production demands, visas for digital nomads, and labor corridors with countries such as Tunisia and Ethiopia. These initiatives are a step toward better planned management, but the OECD cautions that they are still hampered by lengthy processes and a labor market that struggles to attract skilled workers. Italy is thus in a transitional period, with less emergency and more planning, but also the problem of balancing security, development, and inclusion in an aging population, as well as the need for a new workforce.
