Molise, an underpopulated region in Italy, is offering newcomers, including Nigerian migrants, an active residency allowance of €700 per month for three years to live there
However, the newcomers are mandated to open a business and the population of each village is to be kept under 2,000.
It’s a way to breathe life into our towns while also increasing the population. If we had offered funding, it would have been yet another charity gesture,”
The scheme, to be launched this month, is designed to combat depopulation, a chronic problem throughout rural Italy and especially in poorer southern regions
