Italy has experienced rapid population ageing, with the share of older individuals increasing from 9.3% in 1960 to 23.1% in 2022, and a subsequently ageing workforce. In this context, job satisfaction has become an important aspect of migrants’ labour market incorporation. However, one crucial, yet understudied aspect is overqualification––a mismatch between workers’ qualifications and job requirements. Using the 2022 Italian Labour Force Survey, and applying sex-specific linear probability models and linear regression models, we examine the prevalence of overqualification among migrants relative to natives. Additionally, we provide descriptive statistics about the link between overqualification and job and wage satisfaction. Preliminary results, on the first analysis, reveal that migrants who arrived in Italy after age 18 have higher risk of overqualification, especially women; conversely, early arrival reduces overqualification risks. Future work will employ statistical models to explore the role of overqualification on job and wage satisfaction as well as differences by migrant generation and the role of age.
