Yearly quotas and country-reserved shares in Italian immigration policy
Regular immigration to Italy is based on a quota system settingannual ceilings to legal entries. Reserved shares aregranted to single countries or categories of countries. Reservedshares have been increased; they are used as an incentiveto obtain the cooperation of countries of origin instemming irregular migration flows. The total quota of regularimmigration has gradually increased too. Still, it does notfully respond to the growing demand of foreign workers onthe labour market, and quotas seem to be used as cryptoregularisationsrather than as an instrument for regulatinglegal entries.
