Italy is a country poor in natural resources and with a rapidly expanding population far too great for the Italian economy to support. This problem of overpopulation weighs heavily upon the European Recovery Program in Italy. It can be solved only by a high level of manpower utilization internally and by largescale emigration over a period of years. The De Gasperi government cannot solve this grievous problem unless other countries are willing to absorb emigrants from Italy. Furthermore. Italy has experienced a substantial loss of foreign markets due to the nature of many of its exports. the low general level of European prosperity. and the austerity programs in other European nations.
