Populations and migration – Istituto di Ricerche sulla Popolazione e le Politiche Sociali

POPULATIONS AND MIGRATIONS

Population and its dynamics represent a central factor in economic and socio-cultural issues. The diversity of demographic structures and dynamics justifies the focus on these emerging problems, their causal matrices, and their consequences. The need to respond to the resulting demand for intervention and to govern future dynamics with a preventive perspective requires the support of population studies. Furthermore, migration dynamics are becoming one of the key elements in the evolutionary processes of Western societies and beyond. This occurs at supranational, national, regional, and local levels. Finally, phenomena such as population aging, transformations in gender and generational relations, and the interconnections between emigration and immigration processes have a major impact on society. Therefore, these aspects of demographic structure are of significant interest to researchers and policymakers. This research line aims to link these various aspects to build a unified and comprehensive interpretive framework and to highlight common elements.

The themes of interest stem from the project lines and cover all demographic and migration topics. Regarding the former, emphasis is placed on the study of population dynamics at various territorial levels, focusing on their consequences for land management and local policies.

Among the latter, the following should be noted: international migration dynamics with a particular focus on the motivations, aspirations, and decision-making processes underlying the choice to migrate; migration, integration, and reception policies; various aspects of foreign immigration in Italy; Italian emigration; internal mobility phenomena and urbanization dynamics. Studies are also conducted on diasporas and the increase of qualitatively different perspectives in the study of migration within the context of globalization and multiculturalism, with particular attention to the historical reconstruction of the Greek diaspora and qualitative research on the second-generation Greeks in Italy.

The complexity of migration and demographic processes is addressed through quantitative and qualitative scientific analyses carried out by a multidisciplinary research group (demography, urban and labor sociology, geography, and social anthropology).
