Abstract

Our research included 1359 foreigner citizens actually working in Lombardy. To better evaluate the eventual presence of relational, cultural and work related problems in their daily work experience we used a specific questionnaire, directly filled in by Occupational Doctors during occupational medical surveillance enforced by law, composed by different items concerning occupational and relational single worker's life. We evidenced that foreigner workers' population changed significantly in these last years loosing the characteristics of an homogeneous group. A foreigner workers' complete socio cultural integration in our country and specifically in working environments seems far to be really achieved.
