The FPSC organizes a new encounter with ambassadors and journalists in Italy: “The Hispanic factor: the effects of the Latin American immigration in the U.S. and Europe”

This new encounter was especially relevant since Latin America, which was once a classic emigration destination for Europeans, is nowadays experiencing one of the world’s largest migrations: one in ten exodus comes from this Region. 58 Latin Americans leave their country of origin every hour.

The consequences of these migrations were analyzed by the Chargé d’ affaires of the Embassy of Ecuador in Italy, Ms. Alba Coello Barbosa, who referred to the ongoing programs that the countries of Latin America launched to repatriate the migrant population and the reception of new manpower from foreign countries.

The ILAI Socioeconomic Secretary, Dr. José Luis Rhi-Sausi focused on study trends in human migrations , countries with higher rates of immigration (as Russia and China) and emigration (the Sahara), and the return policies being undertaken in Latin America to deal with the integration and the claim of its human resources.

The Confederal Secretary of CISL, Ms. Liliana Ocmín highlighted the importance of recognizing the social value of work to avoid situations such as poor integration of Latin immigrants in the Italian labor market. Having been these people relegated to the most menial tasks, the Peruvian authorities are working on the reintegration of the migrant population and dealing with the difficult management of pensions.

The Co Director of the Markets, Culture and Ethics of the Pusc University of Rome, Mr. Andrés Mercado, during his presentation focused on the difficulties that immigrants face in the labor field, mostly performing tasks in the agriculture and construction.
