This article introduces the special issue of Sociologia del lavoro on Labour migrations, inequalities and regulation from the Great Reces-sion to the pandemic crisis. After explaining the role that Italy and Ital-ian scholars have played in recent decades in the development of liter-ature on labour migrations, the authors explore the reasons justifying a special issue dedicated to this topic, focusing on the Italian case. In particular, three reasons are highlighted: the growing availability of da-tasets for the study of international migrations; the triple crisis (eco-nomic, migratory and pandemic) involving Europe in the last fifteen years; the full achievement of a mature phase of the migratory phenomenon by Italy. These are conditions offering the opportunity to ad-dress unexplored topics and explore open questions, with particular reference to the growing ethnic stratification of Italian society, on the one hand, and to the role that the crises have had in modifying the consolidated structures, on the other.
