Zarobitchane
Ukrainian workers in Italy have long been united in a strong community. Formation of the diaspora in the Apennines lasted for over 15 years. Today, our fellow citizens occupy fifth place in the number of immigrants in Italy.
Over the past 10 years has increased almost ten times the number of Ukrainian in the Apennine peninsula. The main motive for the move was and still work. Most of them (80%) - are women. Between men and women there is a certain age gap: most women - is zarobitchanky older, their average age is 50 years, but male workers are not much younger - their average age is 40 years.
It is connected with the offer of work that today dictates the labor market for immigrants in Italy. Most women are employed in the field of social services, such as care for the sick and cleaning the premises and that over 60% of Ukrainians employment. This area is the most numerically covered Ukrainka.
