Abstract

Sintesi. Vengono presentati gli ultimi dati disponibili relativi ai flussi migratori dei laureati tra le regioni italiane per gli anni 2000-2013 e si discutono quelli riferiti ai flussi migratori verso l’estero nel periodo 2004-2013. Dall’analisi emergono due elementi preoccupanti, da un lato la situazione drammatica per il Mezzogiorno in relazione al drenaggio di capitale umano rappresentato dai laureati verso il Centro-Nord e verso l’estero, dall’altro la perdita di laureati per le regioni del Centro-Nord determinata dall’emigrazione internazionale. Abstract. We present the latest available data on migration flows of graduates across Italian regions for the years 2000-2013 and the figures relating to international migration flows during the period 2004-2013. The analysis reveals two worrying data: on the one hand the dramatic situation for the South in relation to the drainage of human capital represented by graduates to both Centre-Northern regions of Italy and abroad, on the other the loss of graduates for the Centre-Northern regions determined by international emigration.
