(ANSA) - ROME - About 100,000 Polish citizens reside in Italy, 120,000 when taking into account all those of Polish origin, a number which has doubled since Poland's accession into to the EU in 2004. They are skilled workers with a high level of education (11% of the total), and many women work in the field of household and care activities. These data come from the latest study carried out by the Embassy of Poland in Italy, in collaboration with the Idos Study and Research Centre, ''The Poles in Italy. Current features, changes and prospects'' which will be presented Thursday, March 9 in the headquarters of the Polish embassy in Rome. The report, the promoters say, helps to take into account different aspects, including school and university, qualifications of Polish youth, entrepreneurship issues, associations, multilingualism and the specificities of some local contexts (Milan, Rome and Naples). A useful volume ''to tie Poles both to Poland and Italy, and to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding'', said the Polish ambassador, Tomasz Orlowski. (ANSA).
