Vado via : l'emigrazione all'estero dei giovani laureati italiani

One of the most serious consequences of the economic and social crisis 2008 -2015 which has struck Italy, is the exponential growth of emigration of young Italian knowledge workers. The paper analyzes this phenomenon both in terms of size of this migration and of estimating economic costs for Italian society as a whole. As this situation, by reducing the highest quota of human capital in the country, is likely to have permanent consequences on Italian society, the paper also explores some points for potential return policies of expatriates young knowledge workers.
