This paper explores the dynamic landscape of international migration over the past two decades, highlighting the shift towards a post-industrial and globalized world. It examines the evolving push and pull factors affecting migration patterns, particularly in the context of economic crises and changes in labor market demands in both sending and receiving countries. By focusing on the Italian migration case, the study aims to identify notable trends and theoretical frameworks while also discussing the implications of qualification equivalency and unemployment among migrant populations.
