• Grecia
• immigrazione albanese
• integrazione
• lavoro informale

The choice of the theme of integration of Albanian immigrants was born during my Erasmus internship held in Corinth, Greece, between September and December 2016. In this country the Albanian immigrant population represented in the '90s the first group of immigrants and, in December 2014, the 30% of the total immigrant regular population.
Most of Albanian arrived in Greece as irregular migrants in term of status and because of this were forced to find employment in the informal sector.
Through the collection of documentation and qualitative interviews during the internship I was able to address how informal work can be a vehicle of integration.
The integration in this underground sector is determined by the creation of networks, by learning the host country's language and culture, as well as by obtaining of a minimum wage to fulfill the minimum needs. The combination of these factors likely counteracts the integration policies that in Greece are often weak or outdated.
Through the integration and the relationship with each others, stereotypes will fade away and the acceptance of the others will be more favorable.
