In 2025, internal migration in Italy increased by 5.1% compared to 2024, reaching 1.455 million transfers. This growth was driven by both Italians (+34,000) and foreigners (+36,000), with the latter showing a higher annual growth rate of 14.8%. Meanwhile, international emigration decreased by 23.7% to 144,000 units, with Italians’ expatriations dropping to 109,000 (-22.7%). Immigrants from abroad totaled 383,000 (-2.5%), sustaining a positive net migration balance of +296,000, largely due to foreign inflows. The Mezzogiorno lost 150,000 young graduates (25-34 years) to the Center-North and recorded a negative external balance of -28,000. Regional disparities persisted, with northern regions attracting more internal migrants than southern areas.
