The proposed work focuses on the analysis of the academic career of foreign students in Italy. In fact, as evidenced in the last report published by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) in March 2018, it emerges that the proportion of students with non-Italian citizenship who continue their studies at university remains still substantial even if this percentage is higher for the autochthonous (33.9% versus 51.1%).
The goal of this study is the analysis, through secondary data deriving from the main national sources, of migration’s phenomenon in Italy from 2007 to 2014. In particular, the purpose of paper is the description of interculturality focusing the attention on four specific dimensions of the daily life, like citizenship, education, labour market and marriage. Each of these offers a set of statistical indicators useful to observe the integration of migrants in Italy.
The research objective that we want to explore concerns the phenomenon of mixed marriages in Italy. Indeed, in the last years (especially from EU enlargement in 2007), Italian territory is characterized, for its geographical and cultural position, to be one of the European countries with the largest number of foreign residents: suffice it to say that from 2008 to 2016 the increase is equal to +46.4 percentage points.
Today immigration is one of the main topics of public debate not only at national level. A effective management and the development of adequate social policies also pass from the assessment of the integration processes, but integration is a complex, dynamic, time-varying concept in space, linked to historical-political circumstances and to the characteristics assumed by the phenomenon migratory.
