Source, scope & methodology
Unemployment by sex and age - annual data
Eurostat · Dataset updated 10 September 2026 · Accessed 28 September 2026
Annual 2025 unemployment rate for ages 15–74, both sexes, expressed as a percentage of the labour force. Source: Eurostat, annual unemployment dataset.
National figure.
The unemployment rate is unemployed people as a percentage of the labour force (employed plus unemployed). Annual observations should not be labelled as monthly or seasonally adjusted monthly readings.
EU27 reference: Eurostat, EU unemployment in 2025 · Published 10 June 2026.
National unemployment does not measure the availability of property leaders. Use these figures as broad labour-market context, not as evidence of sector-specific candidate supply, senior talent shortages or ease of hiring.

The hiring lens / Italy
Connect design ambition with delivery ownership
These questions help define the appointment. The answers depend on your assets, operating model and reporting structure.
Translate language into responsibilities
Which supplier, design-team and operating discussions require Italian, and which investor relationships use English? Assess practical communication in the relevant setting.
Clarify the handover points
Does responsibility stop at design, extend through construction or continue into operations? Identify who owns cost, quality, opening readiness and commercial outcomes.
Location & working languages
Plan around the work.
Then choose the base.
A reporting address, a project location and the best place to find relevant experience may be different.
Make the language requirement specific.
Where are Italian and English needed across design, delivery, operations and investor communication?
Assess communication through the tasks the person must perform, rather than nationality or an assumed language standard.
