Italian Finns (Italian : italo-finlandesi; Finnish : Suomenitalialaiset) are Finnish-born citizens who are fully or partially of Italian descent, whose ancestors were Italians who emigrated to Finland during the Italian diaspora, or Italian-born people in Finland.
The number of Italians can only be measured in the number of Italian speakers, people born in Italy and their children, since Finland does not collect statistics on ethnicity. [2]
The "Associazione degli Italiani" in Finland, founded in 1990, operates in Finland as an aggregation society for Italian-Finnish people. [3] Furthermore, the Finland-Italy cultural society operates in Finland, founded in 1963, to increase cultural exchanges between the two cultures. [4]
67% of Italian Finns are male and 33% are female. 51.3% of Italian Finns are employed, 9.5% are unemployed and 39.2% are outside the labour force. There are over 200 Italian students in Finland, and over 160 Italian entrepreneurs. [5] 761 Italian men are in a registered relationship with a Finnish woman. [6]
