Nearly 100,000 young graduates left Italy over past decade, report finds
Some 97,000 young graduates have moved away from Italy in the past decade, the head of the country's national statistics agency, Istat, said on Wednesday. A record number of degree holders aged between 25 and 34 - 21,000 - left the country in 2023, Istat President Francesco Maria Chelli told MPs during a presentation on key findings from the agency's latest annual report. That's almost double the number (12,000) of young graduates who emigrated in 2022. Around 31.6 percent of Italians aged 25 to 34 held a degree in 2024, Chelli said. This put Italy well behind France and Spain, where the figure stood at more than 50 percent, according to Eurostat. Within Europe, only Romania and Hungary ranked behind Italy. In a 2024 study, research group Fondazione Nord Est found that losing highly qualified workers to emigration cost Italy an estimated €134 billion between 2011 and 2023 - over €10 billion a year. Italy's brain drain is generally attributed by experts to a chronic shortage of job opportunities, especially in the south of the country, as well as non-competitive wages. Though it has decreased significantly over the past few years, Italy's youth unemployment rate among people aged 15 to 24 remains among the highest in the EU. It stood at 18.7 percent in January of this year – the eighth-highest in the bloc and well above the EU average of 14.6. In an effort to lure back talent, Italy has in recent years introduced tax incentives for highly qualified Italian workers living abroad who choose to return home. But such measures are often seen as insufficient to overcome Italy's lack of graduate-level employment opportunities and the low pay that often comes even with high-level positions. According to a 2023 Istat report, Italian workers earn approximately €3,700 less per year than the average EU worker and over €8,000 less than the average German worker.

Mysore-based Jireh Cardiodogi Solutions launches Hrudal mobile app
Bengaluru: The unique and innovative Hrudal Mobile App, introduced by healthcare solutions firm Jireh Cardiodigi in Bengaluru on Sunday, is looking to improve health outcomes in India by reducing morbidity and mortality through better emergency access, diagnostics and preventive care. Jireh Cardiodigi Solutions Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2024 in Mysore, is on a mission to bridge the critical gaps in India's healthcare system by combining digital innovation with on-ground support. 'With both an online and offline presence, we are dedicated to ensuring that healthcare resources are used effectively and are accessible to everyone, everywhere. Our mission is to significantly reduce the cost of diagnosis through technology and innovation,' said Dr David J Chelli, MD and CEO of Jireh Cardiodigi Solutions Pvt Ltd, while launching the app. As non-communicable diseases like heart conditions, diabetes and hypertension rise due to stress, sedentary lifestyles, and low health awareness, the need for proactive, connected, and affordable healthcare has grown. While a wide range of healthcare services are available in India — from Primary Care to Tertiary Care — there is often a disconnect between patients and the services they need. Lack of information or improper transport maybe some of the reasons for this disconnect. This is where the Hrudal App comes in. 'Our flagship digital platform, HRUDAL, is designed to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and timely. It will be the first mobile App which will have 15 Health Care Provider Entities under a single platform covering all the 800 districts of India,' Chelli said. Through this all-in-one mobile app, users can access emergency services – 24/7 ambulance coordination for critical situations, order medicines to the doorstep, book diagnostic services (lab technicians) at home, schedule physiotherapy and rehabilitation at home, find verified doctors and hospitals with the help of detailed directories including services offered and estimated costs. The app can also help the users to access discounts and transparent pricing and help promote cost awareness for better decision-making. The Member of Parliament, Bangalore Rural, Dr. CN Manjunath said 'Together with healthcare professionals, startups, and the government, the organisation is looking to shape a healthier India— one connection at a time. It is a great initiative that'll help improve medical standards in the country.' There will also be value added programs targeting 6 categories of clients (general public, patients, doctors and student of medical, nursing and paramedical courses.) General Public: Apart from providing free to air, healthcare information and guidance this population will have regular updates in preventive health. Will get dedicated guidance both in times of emergency and other times. Will be eligible for extra discounts. Patients: This population apart from the above sops will also get EMR facility to store all his medical records electronically and will also get to connect with any doctor anywhere in the world for opinion through VC.

Will also be aiding in job vacancies. Students: {Medical, Nursing and Paramedical} They will be having regular coaching classes (live and recorded).
