Southern Italians are studying more and for longer as a shortage of jobs forces many to either stay in school or relocate, a report by national statistics bureau ISTAT showed on Thursday.
The "Mezzogiorno" -- covering Italy's six southern regions plus the islands of Sicily and Sardinia -- recorded 56% of high-school graduates enrolling in a university in the 2022-23 academic year, higher than the equivalent figure for the more affluent centre-north, a report by ISTAT showed.
"The lack of stable and good quality job opportunities in the Mezzogiorno is nothing new, but the situation among "millennials" is getting worse", ISTAT said. Its report added that the Mezzogiorno risked a brain drain, with more than 28% of students from the area choosing to study elsewhere in 2022, while half of its working graduates had relocated within five years.
