Good news for Indian job seekers! Italy is opening its doors to 10,000 Indian workers in 2024, with applications starting in April. This is part of a larger agreement that will see 30,000 Indian workers employed in Italy between 2023 and 2025.
Here’s the breakdown:
- 6,000 non-seasonal workers: These positions could lead to permanent or regular employment.
- 4,000 seasonal workers: These are temporary positions for specific periods of the year.
- Increasing opportunities: The number of Indian workers recruited will gradually rise, reaching 12,000 in 2025.
This agreement benefits both countries:
- Italy addresses labor shortages: Many Italian industries are facing a lack of skilled workers.
- Indian workers gain opportunities: This is a chance to work abroad and potentially secure permanent positions.
Is this a sign of high unemployment in India?
Some critics raised concerns about high unemployment in India. However, India’s unemployment rate has actually been decreasing, reaching a low of 3.1% in 2023.
