This work has a twofold research aim: to analyze the main individual factors associated with having benefited from regularization in Italy and to study the association between having benefited from regularization and the change in professional situation of first-generation immigrants regularly living in Italy. To achieve our research goals, we used data from the cross-sectional SCIF survey carried out by ISTAT in 2011-2012 and we performed logistic regression analysis. We found that those benefiting from regularization have a lasting presence in Italy and that regularization proves significant in allowing immigrants to advance in the settlement process. Moreover, being men, middle-aged, resident in the regions of southern Italy, coming from countries with a consolidated history of migration towards Italy and having a good knowledge of Italian increase the likelihood of being regularized. Finally, there is a negative association between benefiting from regularization and improvements in professional situation.

Questo articolo ha un duplice obiettivo: analizzare i principali fattori individuali associati all’aver beneficiato della regolarizzazione in Italia e studiare l’associazione tra l’aver beneficiato della regolarizzazione e il cambiamento della situazione professionale degli immigrati di prima generazione regolarmente residenti in Italia. Per raggiungere i nostri obiettivi di ricerca, abbiamo utilizzato i dati dell’indagine trasversale SCIF condotta dall’ISTAT nel 2011-2012 e abbiamo effettuato un’analisi tramite regressione logistica. Abbiamo riscontrato che coloro che hanno beneficiato della regolarizzazione hanno una presenza duratura in Italia e che la regolarizzazione si rivela significativa nel consentire agli immigrati di avanzare nel processo di insediamento. Inoltre, essere uomini, di mezza età, residenti nelle regioni del Sud Italia, provenire da Paesi con una storia consolidata di migrazione verso l’Italia e avere una buona conoscenza dell’italiano aumentano la probabilità di essere regolarizzati. Infine, esiste un’associazione negativa tra l’aver beneficiato della regolarizzazione e il miglioramento della situazione professionale.
