Is Italy pushing its young people away?

It feels like every time I talk to someone my age (I'm 31) they’re either planning to leave Italy or already gone. Finding a stable job, affording rent, and building a future here seems harder than ever. Many feel like they have no choice but to move abroad I'm now considering to do the same myself.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, and I know some people say Italy offers opportunities if you know where to look, while others believe the system is too broken to fix. I recently explored this in my podcast, but I’d love to hear different perspectives because it's a complicated topic.

Have you ever had job stability issues in Italy, or maybe someone you know? Or if you're a foreigner in Italy, what's your perspective?

(If you're curious, I also discussed this in my latest podcast, it's called "Voices of Italy": https://open.spotify.com/episode/29EU4mwDEzsJC8ob704BXm?si=yTt-4AD4TQOQLvUm3Bp6hg])
