Albanian migration to Italy represents one of the most intense and iconic East-West migration flows of recent decades and a paradigmatic case of intra-Mediterranean migration. This paper uses a unique data set collected by the Lombardy region’s Observatory of Integration and Multiethnicity in 15 annual cross-sectional surveys over the period 2001–2015. Analysis of this data set enables us to address three questions: first, what are the main factors influencing the labour market performance of Albanian migrants in Lombardy compared with other migrants? Second, what were the differential effects of the post-2008 economic crisis on migrants’ employment stability? Third, were there any significant gender differences in labour market profiles and outcomes? Our main finding is that Albanian migrants have a lower probability of (long-term)unemployment and irregular employment and higher probability of employment compared with other migrants, an effect that is partially attributable to the different structural composition of the Albanian migrant group.

意大利阿尔巴尼亚移民的劳动力市场概况：2001-2015 年伦巴第的证据

阿尔巴尼亚人到意大利的移民是近几十年来最强烈和最具标志性的东西方移民流动之一，也是地中海内部移民的典型案例。本文使用了伦巴第地区融合与多民族观测站在 2001-2015 年期间的 15 次年度横断面调查中收集的独特数据集。对该数据集的分析使我们能够解决三个问题：首先，与其他移民相比，影响伦巴第阿尔巴尼亚移民劳动力市场表现的主要因素是什么？第二，2008 年后的经济危机对移民就业稳定性的不同影响是什么？第三，劳动力市场概况和结果是否存在显着的性别差异？我们的主要发现是，与其他移民相比，阿尔巴尼亚移民的（长期）失业和非正规就业概率较低，而就业概率较高，这一影响部分归因于阿尔巴尼亚移民群体的不同结构组成。
