This indicates a downward trend with an annual average decline. In 2023, the metric stood higher than the projections for 2024-2028, marking a systematic reduction in the workload.

Technological advancements potentially reducing the demand for manual labor.
Increased competition from digital communications impacting traditional postal services.
Policy changes or economic factors influencing self-employment viability in Italy.
