According to a report by the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are nearly four young unemployed individuals for every adult looking for work in Italy. This study emphasizes a significant disadvantage for youth, despite improvements in access to employment.

The report highlights that youth unemployment and the incidence of NEETs have significantly decreased, yet Italy still lags behind the European Union average. The ILO noted that for some young people, emigrating may become a rational choice, underscoring the new challenges in the job market.
