Abstract

The Italian labor market is recognized as disadvantaged for foreign-born citizens, with negative effects on their psychosocial wellbeing. In other countries, significant differences between career aspirations and expectations or perceived opportunities in native and foreign-born citizens has been welldocumented, mainly due to the presence of perceived socio-economic barriers, while studies on this topic are lacking in Italy. Addressing this research gap, we investigated the relationship between career expectations and aspirations in native and foreign-born citizens and the role of the perceived contextual barriers within an Italian sample. 291 inhabitants of Pioltello, a multicultural municipality in the metropolitan area of Milan, were involved in our quantitative study. Results suggest that, in line with the latest research trends, the Italian context differences already emerge in the aspirational phase, as foreign-born citizens are more aligned than natives with the labor market demands. Differently, natives operate a stronger realignment in the transition from career aspirations to expectations. Moreover, foreign-born citizens also perceive a stronger influence of socio-economic barriers on their career opportunities. Policy implications of this findings in psycho-social and educational fields, aimed at promoting individual and social wellbeing, are finally discussed.

本土和外国出生公民的职业抱负、期望和感知的背景障碍:一项意大利案例研究
意大利劳动力市场被认为对外国出生的公民不利,对他们的心理健康产生负面影响。在其他国家,本地和外国出生的公民的职业抱负和期望或感知机会之间的显著差异已得到充分记录,主要是由于存在感知的社会经济障碍,而意大利缺乏关于这一主题的研究。针对这一研究差距,我们调查了本国和外国出生公民的职业期望和抱负之间的关系,以及意大利样本中感知的背景障碍的作用。Pioltello是米兰大都会区的一个多文化自治市,291名居民参与了我们的定量研究。结果表明,与最新的研究趋势一致,意大利的背景差异已经在渴望阶段出现,因为外国出生的公民比本地人更符合劳动力市场需求。不同的是,本地人在从职业抱负到期望的转变中进行了更强的调整。此外,外国出生的公民也认为社会经济障碍对他们的职业机会有更大的影响。最后讨论了这一发现在心理社会和教育领域的政策含义,旨在促进个人和社会福祉。
