ABSTRACT The spatial concentration of immigrants has become a concern for local administrations in most European countries, as it is perceived as an obstacle to their better integration in host societies. Indian immigration to Italy began in the 1960s, but large-scale immigration of unskilled labour from Punjab and Haryana (North-West Indian states) began during the 1990s. This influx was formed by young men who entered Italy in search of economic opportunities and then concentrated spatially in the economically active regions. In this paper, using the municipal registers of inhabitants (Anagrafe), the residence permits records and the 2011 census data, firstly, I made a spatial analysis (LISA) of the settlement pattern of Indian immigrants in Italy; second, I explored the internal mobility pattern (through a gravity model) of Indian immigrants compared to other immigrant groups during 2005–2015; and finally, I studied the impact of the recent economic crisis on Indian immigration.

印度移民意大利：集中、内部流动和经济危机

摘要 移民的空间集中已成为大多数欧洲国家地方政府关注的问题，因为这被认为是他们更好地融入东道国社会的障碍。印度移民到意大利始于 1960 年代，但从旁遮普邦和哈里亚纳邦（印度西北部各州）大规模非技术劳工移民始于 1990 年代。这种涌入是由进入意大利寻找经济机会的年轻人形成的，然后在空间上集中在经济活跃的地区。在本文中，利用城市居民登记册（Anagrafe）、居留许可记录和2011年人口普查数据，首先对意大利印度移民的定居模式进行了空间分析（LISA）；第二，我探索了 2005-2015 年印度移民与其他移民群体相比的内部流动模式（通过重力模型）；最后，我研究了最近的经济危机对印度移民的影响。
