The total number of economically active population: 24.86 million (in 2007), of them are employed in agriculture 4%, industry - 31%, the tertiary sector - 65%. Because of the small area and high population density, in modern Italy is an issue of recycling.

Italy on the economic level is intermediate between the most economically developed countries and middle-income economies productive forces. As well as other advanced countries, Italy Industry is the leading sphere of the economy, although it occupied a smaller of the economically active population than in intensively and disproportionately growing service sector. The cost of industrial production exceeds the cost of agricultural production, in which invests less capital than in industry. Industrial products predominate in Italian exports. A significant part of the national wealth in the hands of the Italian monopolies most of which are among the largest corporations in the capitalist world. They dominate in the chemical and electrical industries ("Montedison") in a car (Fiat), as well as rubber ("Pirelli").

At the same time, there are a myriad of medium, small and very small firms mainly in textile and food industry as well as in the production of household electrical appliances, equipment for processing plastics, in some sub-sectors of the machine tool. Beginning with the 1970s, there is a tendency to reduce the large and increasing role of small and medium-sized companies and enterprises.

Important new feature of the development of state-monopoly capitalism in Italy became a national long-term programming of the economy, reflecting an improvement in the concentration and centralization of production and capital, growing monopolization and nationalization of the economy.

The global crisis has exacerbated many of the economic problems in Italy. By the size of the deficit budget and public debt Italy is among the top five "leaders" of the euro zone. Thus, the ratio of public debt to GDP in Italy there is more than 100%. Recovery program of the Italian economy involves freezing salaries and postponement of retirement of civil servants, the reduction of funding for regional administrations, as well as tighter control over tax evasion. Italian opposition believes that, as in other countries, have approved similar measures, the perpetrators of the current crisis go unpunished.
