Eccovi serviti. Il 7% dei laureati del nord Italia nel 1999 e' andato all'estero. Oggi vi assicuro che e' molto peggio. Questo per tutti quelli che dicono che i giovani di oggi non hanno voglia di fare una mazza e che i laureati italiani non valgono niente (gia', pero' diciamolo sotto voce che all'estero sembre non se ne rendano conto ...)
Un paese che sputa in faccia ai suoi migliori giovani merita di crepare di fame.
il 7% e' un cifra pazzesca, perche' e' evidente che all'estero si prendono i migliori. Ed oggi ripeto, e' molto peggio del 1999.

Italian students seek the dolce vita abroad

Everyone wants to live in Italy, it sometimes seems, as the Brits buy up
Tuscany and Umbria. Everyone except the Italians.
The drain of Italian college graduates towards foreign countries is
reaching alarming levels and could have "dire consequences" for the
country's economy, according to a forthcoming study.
New data show the percentage of college graduates leaving Italy quadrupled
between 1990 and 1999. The number of new college graduates moving abroad
rose from less than 1% at the beginning of the decade to 4% at the end of
the 1990s.
The trend is common to graduates from the north and the south, although in
absolute terms the north experiences the greater drain. In 1999, 7% of
northern graduates left the country compared with only 2% of graduates
from the south.
Italy also has one of the lowest percentages of foreign graduates working
in its economy, while the UK has the highest, points out a paper by Sascha
Becker, Andrea Ichino and Giovanni Peri, given to the European Association
of Labour Economists.
They argue that Italy is out of step with other large EU countries.
Germany, France and the UK have more foreign graduates in their country
than national graduates working abroad, while in Spain the balance is
roughly equal. In Italy's case, on the other hand, 2.3% of all graduates
work abroad but only 0.3% of the graduate workforce is foreign.
They conclude: "The phenomenon may have serious economic consequences.
Several studies have shown that, in developed countries, the increase in
the schooling level of the labour force is responsible for a large share
of economic growth. Italy, since the mid-1990s, has lost human capital
through migration. Since 1996 the percentage of graduates among emigrants
is greater than the percentage among Italian residents.
"This implies a reduction of average human capital of the labour force,
through migration. Moreover, college graduates are the part of the labour
force that promotes research, innovation and entrepreneurship. The
increasing loss of brains can have dire consequences on the economic
growth of the country."
