Italy: new research shows flaws in migrant regularisation programme
Research by Human Rights Watch on the Italian 2020 regularisation programme found important flaws in its design and implementation. In particular, the research points to the restrictive scope of the programme, the lack of clarity about eligibility and the employer sponsorship approach, among others, excluding hundreds of thousands of people and failing to reach most of the farmworkers it was supposed to benefit. Numbers show that only 15% of the applications under the employer sponsorship pathway came from the agricultural sector.
