In the last 20 years, Sicily has been experiencing a population decline
Over 560,000 people have left the island in search of opportunities elsewhere. This diaspora drains cities and towns, weakens communities, and impoverishes the social, economic, and cultural fabric. This silent exodus dims hopes for the future, leaving behind a void that is challenging to fill. Yet, with collective strength and unwavering spirit, we can rekindle the vibrant essence of our beloved Sicily, nurturing a land rich in culture and brimming with possibilities.
32%
Due to a lack of opportunities
In 2021, 32% of young graduates from Sicily left the region, according to SVIMEZ data, a figure that has multiplied fivefold from 6% in 2001.
Without a system to retain and empower its talents, Sicily continues to lose its most valuable resources: its people.
