The government of Premier Giorgia
Meloni on Thursday evening gave preliminary approval to a new
programming document for the legal entry of 452,000 foreign
workers in the period 2023-2025.
"For the three-year period 2023-2025, the government envisages a
total of 452,000 entries, compared to an identified need of
833,000," with 136,000 entries in 2023, 151,000 in 2024 and
165,000 in 2025, a statement said.
The provision also extends the categories of worker and
production sectors implicated by the so-called 'flows decree' to
include electricians and plumbers, bus drivers and workers in
the fishing sector.
It also reinstates a specific quota for domestic caregivers and
social-medical workers, as well as increasing the number of
legal entries allowed for seasonal workers in the agricultural
and tourism sectors in 2022 to be used against applications made
on 'click day' on March 27 for admission to Italy under an
earlier decree.
