Professions with the Greatest Labor Shortage in Italy

The EURES report highlighted 37 professions in Italy that are suffering from labor shortages, and among them, 10 stand out as the most urgent.

Among them, nurses are in high demand due to the aging population and increasing healthcare needs.

Food service counter attendants are needed to meet the rising demand in the food sector.

Software and application developers are sought after due to the expansion of the information technology sector.

Doctors are also highly requested, especially in areas with a high demand for healthcare services.

Bakers and pastry chefs are essential for the food industry, which aims to meet a growing demand for baking and pastry products.

Welders are needed in the manufacturing industry, while medical imaging and therapeutic equipment technicians are sought after as medical technology advances.

Network and computer systems technicians are in demand due to the increasing need for information technology specialists.

Workers in the industry and personal services are also in short supply, with a need for professionals in various roles and personal service demands.

Need for Immigrants

Italy faces an additional challenge with an aging population. Studies indicate that the country will need about 280,000 foreign workers annually until 2050 to compensate for the declining population and labor shortages.

The Center for Study and Research IDOS revealed that Italy’s population is expected to decrease by 7.8 million by 2050, further emphasizing the necessity for foreign workers.

In response to this situation, the Italian government approved a new program document for the legal entry of foreign workers for the period of 2023–2025.

This measure was taken in response to pressure from employers, who have faced a growing labor shortage over the past 12 years.

Opportunities for Brazilians Amid Labor Shortages

For Brazilian workers considering migrating to Italy, it is essential to know the in-demand professions.

Working in one of the listed occupations can increase the chances of obtaining a work visa.

The demand for qualified professionals in critical sectors offers an excellent opportunity for those willing to move to Italy and contribute to the local economy.

In summary, the labor shortage in Italy is creating a window of opportunity for foreign workers.

The in-demand professions represent a real chance for those wishing to live and work legally in the country.

With the aging population and the increasing need for workers in specific sectors, now may be a good time to consider a move to Italy.

Opportunities for Brazilians Amid Labor Shortages

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

Believe it, it existed in ancient India: for over 2,000 years, execution by elephant used sacred animals to crush convicts in public and spread fear as a brutal display of power.

Ground subsidence in a city in Northeast Brazil forces 60,000 residents to leave their homes after rock salt extraction opened cracks, emptied entire neighborhoods, and transformed traditional areas into almost abandoned zones.
