Italy To Offer More Migrant Work Visas to Caregivers for Old People Italy will offer an extra 10,000 migrant work visas next year for people who look after old people and the disabled, the government said on Wednesday, as it adopted a new package of migration rules. Saddled with an ageing population and a sagging birth rate, Italy has long faced a shortage of caregivers, and charities including the Sant'Egidio Catholic group have lobbied the government to allow more of them to come from abroad. The "experimental" extra quota for caregivers will add to the 452,000 work visa number announced for the 2023-2025 period last year - which represented an increase of nearly 150% from the previous three years.
