Sardinia an emergency population

Saturday 8 August 2015 ACLI Gesico, on the feast of the emigrant 2015, They organized in collaboration with the ACLI of the Province of Cagliari and with the ACLI CREI convention on’“Emigration, immigration and depopulation in Sardinia”.

During the conference we were presented the first data ACLI research on the phenomenon of depopulation and migration, which mainly affects the small towns of the interior of Sardinia. But the meeting was an opportunity to discuss, numbers in hand, the difficulty of finding a young Sardinian job and of the reasons why so many of them to emigrate.

The data presented show that the population of Sardinia to 1 January 2015 It amounted 1.663.286 inhabitants, 815.035 males and 848.251 females.

In terms of the depopulation, just think that, in the course of 2014, adding the natural balance (the difference between births and deaths, loss of around 80% of Sardinian) and the net migration (the difference between residents purchased and those lost) They have lost 573 inhabitants, not offset by the growth in the case of Cagliari (+1098), and Olbia Tempio (+1.432), while all other provinces sardines, showed negative balances: Sassari (-382), Oristano (-868), Nuoro (-567), Carbonia Iglesias (-694), Middle Campidano (-535) and Ogliastra (-57)

In the course of the 2014 It is estimated to have been over 7.200 Sardinian emigrants who decided to leave the island to move abroad (Britain and Germany) and in other Italian regions ( Lombardy and Lazio).

The urgency of the demographic is offset in part by Foreign citizens who decide to live in Sardinia, in the course of 2014 They were 45.079, 2920 persons more than in 2013.

For the president of the ACLI provincial Cagliari, Mauro Charter, coordinator of the research carried out in recent years by the ACLI on migration, "Discuss depopulation and migration is important, because all together we must find solutions and programs to tackle this emergency situation, an increasing number of young people who leave the Sardinian island to look for a job at the height of their powers. Young people leave because they want to be valued and are ready for international mobility - Charter says - while Sardinia assists mostly indifferent progressive expulsion of his best energies. "

“Small countries assist passively to this phenomenon, This is why in the coming weeks will be presented an experimental project ACLI, "The permanent observatory of depopulation and migration" that will involve many small towns of Sardinia. It will start from the study and analysis of each community and in partnership with local players will be offered new tools and programs to address the problem”.
