The employment in the mining and quarrying sector in Italy is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The data indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease, highlighting a contraction trend in the industry. As of 2023, the employment stood at approximately 10,500 FTEs, serving as a baseline for these projections. From 2024 to 2028, the direction is clear, with a marked year-on-year decline, reflecting diminishing attractiveness and potential structural changes in the sector.

Percentage variations on a year-on-year basis would show decreasing levels that reflect reduced industry activity. The compound annual growth rate over this forecasted period further underscores this downturn.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements potentially leading to increased automation and reduced manpower needs.
Economic or regulatory factors impacting the viability of mining operations in Italy.
Shifts in global demand for minerals and energy resources affecting domestic employment dynamics.
