Abstract.
The analysis highlights the relationship between the territorial distribution of foreigners in Lombardy and the economic space they occupy, territorially defined by the Local Labour Systems. In particular, using these units the study assesses the importance of ethnic networks and local labour market conditions in defining the varying concentration of foreign nationalities living in the territory.
