La creazione di nuove imprese è un importante aspetto dell’imprenditorialità e un indicatore della vitalità economica dei territori. Questo articolo analizza l’andamento dei tassi di natalità delle imprese in Italia nell’arco temporale 2008-2019, utilizzando i dati del registro Infocamere-Movimprese. La Grande Recessione ha determinato un calo dei tassi di natalità misurati come rapporto fra nuove imprese e popolazione in età lavorativa. Tuttavia, in Italia, a differenza di altri paesi, la traiettoria declinante è proseguita anche dopo il 2013, nonostante la ripresa economica. Risalta l’arretramento di molte aree intermedie e rurali a vantaggio delle regioni metropolitane. Benché forti nel loro complesso, queste ultime hanno performance e profili differenti, sia fra Nord e Sud del paese, sia all’interno delle due macroaree geografiche.

Parole chiave:; Grande Recessione, natalità delle imprese, regioni metropolitane, divari territoriali, Italia.
