Conclusions (1) The long distance transfers progressively decreased while the percentage of short-distance ones on the total of transfers significantly increased. The comparison conducted on the last five years available confirms such tendency to reduce the distance of migration. In the last three years, the tendency to a migratory loss as far as the South is concerned seems to be decreasing.

Conclusions (2) The Italian North-eastern regions have registered inter- regional balances that are among the highest ones of the country, after having been, during the important migrations’ decades, areas of emigration towards the Northwest and to foreign countries. The attractivity of the Northwestern regions seems to have strongly decreased. The central regions show overall constant levels of inter- regional migratory balance.

Conclusions (3) The most consistent losses of population due to South-to- Centre/North migratory flows during the period mainly concern the younger age classes (20-29). The South has been losing evermore persons with a medium-high education degree. In 2003, about half (48.8%) of the persons over 14 years of age who moved from the South to the Centre-North had a medium-high education degree.
