Tiivistelmä
Migration has taken many different forms throughout time, and it has gained much scholarly interest. The primary aim of this study is to analyse the issue of “new migrations” in the circuit of young generations from European countries. The originality of the project lies in the belief that new and crucial aspects can be discovered looking just at the opposite “sides” of the European scene. In the context of the European Union Italy and Finland present a vast range of differences concerning mentality, working experience, history, welfare and, least but not last, in the conception of migrating and travelling. In this sense, they can be described as “two opposite poles” of the European setting, and for this very reason they were chosen as an original perspective on the topic.
The research is twofold: the historical study is aimed at understanding the most relevant changes in the old migration patterns and in the new ones, focusing on the differences between Italy and Finland. The main body of the second part consists of an experimental study, where semi-standardized interviews were conducted with a selected sample of “new emigrants”, from 18 to 35 years old, moving along the Finnish-Italian route.
Who are these persons? What are their dreams, hopes and life expectations? What drove them to look for something new on the other side of Europe? Are there any differences between young Italians and Finns? What about their life-styles before and after the “big change”? On another level, the intention is also to measure their national sense of identity. How strongly do they feel identify themselves as Italians or Finns? In the last part, the questionnaire probes the respondents’ conceptions of the growing European spirit.
