The population of Italy is over 60 million people, which brings the state to a leading position in Europe (in 4th place after Germany, France and the UK). The population of Italy is uninational - more than 94% are Italians.
If you look at the structure of employment, you can see a fairly high percentage reduction in the number of jobs in certain industries, but at the same time, a steady increase in employment in trade, banking and insurance is a common trend in highly developed countries. The majority of the population of Italy (over 70%) lives in cities, the largest of which are Rome (2.72 million), Milan (1.3 million), Naples (964 thousand) and Turin (906 thousand). The state has a diversified industrial-agrarian economy with an industrial north, where private companies predominate, and a less developed agricultural south, with a rather high
unemployment rate.The Italian economy is driven mainly by the production of high-quality consumer goods produced by small and medium enterprises, many of which are family-owned. Many
well-known brands of clothes, shoes, wine, automotive, and others have their own power is in Italy. These are Dolce & Gabana, Gucci, Ferrari, Lamborgini, Versace, Nutella, Martini and others.
Of course, one of the most important sources of profit for the state is tourism, because today Italy is considered one of the most popular countries in the world among travelers. Its entire thousand-year history has been embodied in many historical monuments of architecture. Rome, with its sights: the Coliseum, the Forum, the Pantheon, as well as the dwarf state of the Vatican, is the most visited
tourists by the
city of Italy. In addition to Rome, every vacationer must visit Venice -
"City on the Water", which many award the title of the most beautiful city in the world. Impressive and majestic palaces form a peculiar mysterious world where the indifferent grace of Gothic style is adjacent to the magnificent luxury of Baroque. At the same time, in all corners of this "paradise" is heard the splashing of water, which, washing the basement of buildings, reflects architectural creations. You won’t write about all the tourist places in Italy at once; you would have to write more than one volume. However, we list the other most popular attractions: this is Florence with its magnificent cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the
Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa and other historical heritage in Milan, Naples and Turin. Marine are also famous.
resorts of the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas. According to some reports, the population of Italy during the tourist season increases by 5-10 million people.
Currently, Italy's economic development is confidently moving forward, thanks to numerous investments, stable export growth and a rise in the level of the service sector. However, there are some problems. Firstly, the country has a significant shadow economy, which, according to some estimates, is as much as 15% of GDP. Secondly, there is a drop in demand for Italian products among the mass market. The population of Italy also leaves its negative mark - the country has a relatively low birth rate, at which the so-called "aging of the nation" is observed.
