Ukrainians in Italy are mostly recent labor migrants.[1] As of 31 December 2010, there were 380,000 Ukrainians in Italy. Many Ukrainian women make a living in Italy as caretakers for the elderly, terminally ill, children or entire families.[2] 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),[3] a professional role snubbed by many native Italians, due to its physical difficulty and emotional stress.[4]
