(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 15 - The resident foreign population in
Italy decreased by 15.4% in 2021 over 2019, national statistics
institute Istat said on Wednesday.
The birth rate among foreigners living in Italy dropped by 4.8%
over 2020, while deaths rose by 8.6%.
Both figures reflect the effects of the coronavirus pandemic,
Istat said.
The decrease came in spite of a 27% rise in the number of
arrivals between 2020 and 2021 following the relaxation of
Covid-19 travel restrictions. (ANSA).
