Thousands of undocumented Gambians in Italy could well be on their way to landing themselves jobs after the country’s government agreed to introducing changes to employment permits for migrants in the country.
Earlier this week, Italy’s government unveiled a $59.6bn stimulus package to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus.
“They have proposed it but they are yet to agree. It’s for all foreigners in the country. Gambians here have received the news well,” Salifu Marong the president of the Gambia Association in Italy told The Fatu Network.
Italy is one of the countries in Europe hit hard by coronavirus where it killed thousands of people.
The country is now looking for workers after most of its European workers became stranded in their countries due to COVID-19.
Farm work and domestic work are some of the areas that have been identified by the Italian government.
