According to the official statistics, offered by the Registry of Italians Resident Abroad (A.I.R.E.), over 27.000 Italians leave their home country behind, every year (actually, the numbers double, if we consider the unofficial data of those unregistered).
Mind that we are not talking about young people, who indulge their whim of going to live abroad. Upon graduation, they cannot see even the faintest hope of finding a job, fitting their skillset (Italy's unemployment rate amounts to over 46 % of young population). Therefore, they pack their bags and embark on a one-way trip, mostly to Europe and the American continent.
