Abstract

The present work, based on statistical and biographical sources, sums up Italian emigration movements up to 1940, illustrating the ups and downs of the expansion of Italian emigration from the beginning of the century down to the outbreak of World War II. The author describes the various phases of the migratory movement, the changes in its direction and in its regional and vocational structure, showing the distribution of the Italian populations living abroad in the years preceding the last war. The survey is completed by a rapid enquiry into the significance that the size and proportions of Italian emigration have had for the economic and demographic growth of Italy herself.
