Description
The immigration we are writing about in the 2015 Report is a phenomenon that has been talked about more than in the past, in relation to the so-called refugee crisis, but whose figures, characteristics and implications are not always clear. And it is towards the goal of greater clarity, as a necessary condition for a more open and reflective public debate, that this work of ours is oriented. Immigration' in the strict sense of the term is in fact a phenomenon that is largely in decline, in the sense that new inflows from abroad have been decreasing, with the exception of new migrations for international protection. The slowdown, in demographic terms, is the element that characterises the overall number of foreign residents in the province: slightly fewer than last year, with numbers of births and family reunifications falling, although with a systematic increase in acquisitions of Italian citizenship (especially through 'naturalisation'). If the categories of emergency and first reception are, to a certain extent, peculiar to work with new asylum seekers, for all the others - a large part of the 50,000 foreign presences in the province - the problems have, if anything, to do with economic and housing poverty, overexposure to the effects of the crisis, long-term inequalities, and low visibility and participation in the public sphere.
