Ukrainians in Italy are mostly recent labor migrants. As of 2020, there were 223,000 Ukrainians in Italy with valid permits. Many Ukrainian women make a living in Italy as caretakers for the elderly, terminally ill, children or entire families. Mistrustful of retirement homes, Italians have embraced Ukrainian migrants as an answer to a shortage of Italian in-home caregivers (making Ukrainians the fourth-largest immigrant community in Italy), a professional role snubbed by many native Italians, due to its physical difficulty and emotional stress.
