In this paper, we address the role of civil society organisations (CSOs) in Italy with regard to the integration of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees (MRAs) in the labour market. The paper analyses the role played by CSOs in practice, looking at the dynamics of demand and offer of services through the perspective of both the CSOs and MRAs. To achieve this, we combine qualitative data from semi-structured interviews to CSO representatives as well as MRAs. Our findings point out that the fragmentation of the policy framework in terms of employment and integration, and an unfavourable legislation (above all, migration law) shape the kind of prevalent activities of CSOs and negatively impact the potential for integration of MRAs in the labour market. In general, much is left to the single CSO to fill in the needs of MRAs beyond minimal provisions established by law, with just asylum seekers and refugees having better opportunities and support. Furthermore, we can also observe how economic migrants generally tend to be less supported.
在本文中，我们探讨了意大利民间社会组织（CSO）在移民、寻求庇护者和难民（MRA）融入劳动力市场方面所发挥的作用。本文分析了民间社会组织在实际中所扮演的角色，从民间社会组织和移民、寻求庇护者和难民双方的角度审视服务的供需动态。为实现这一目标，我们结合了对民间社会组织代表以及移民、寻求庇护者和难民进行半结构化访谈所获得的定性数据。我们的研究结果指出，就业和融合政策框架的碎片化，以及不利的立法（尤其是移民法）塑造了民间社会组织普遍开展的活动类型，并对移民、寻求庇护者和难民融入劳动力市场的潜力产生负面影响。总体而言，除了法律规定的最低限度条款外，满足移民、寻求庇护者和难民需求的重任大多落在单个民间社会组织身上，只有寻求庇护者和难民拥有更好的机会和支持。此外，我们还能观察到经济移民通常得到的支持较少。
