Italian city looking for immigrants to live in

Residents of the Italian city of Reggio Calabria, abandoned by young people and inhabited by a few hundred elderly people, are looking for young refugees to work and stay in their city and protect them from extinction.

The invitation to the elderly came to compensate for the vacuum left by its able-bodied population and abandoned it in search of a better life in central and northern Italy, the Los Angeles Times reported, quoting officials in the Mediterranean city south of Italy.

The newspaper "Express Tribune" Pakistan noted in a comment on this invitation, that left in the Italian city mentioned only 330 people, mostly elderly.
The newspaper said in a description of Reggio Calabria that the streets are empty of pedestrians, and the windows of their houses are closed.

"In 15 years, I have received thousands of illegal immigrants who have arrived across the Mediterranean because of their proximity to the coasts of Italian Sicily and the Libyan coasts," said Domenico Locano, the city's abandoned mayor.

The city's mayor added that the migrants who arrived in his city are currently active in grazing and butchering, as are bus drivers and shopkeepers.

A census by the Italian National Institute for Agricultural Economics found that the population of Reggio Calabria with its current immigrants was 1,500, and most of the migrants came from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Syria and sub-Saharan countries.

Statistics show that the proportion of foreign workers active in Italian farms jumped to 37% between 2008 and 2013.
