ABSTRACT The native migration flows from the Italian Mezzogiorno to Central and Northern Italy have recently begun to increase once more. The idea suggested in this paper is that the intensification of internal migration in Italy can be associated with a double dynamic: the significant upwards convergence between the Centre-North and the Mezzogiorno in education levels; and the progressive divergence between the two areas in their productive structures. As shown by the factor content of trade, such output divergence has been sustained by recent internationalization processes that have had an asymmetric impact on the Italian regions.
