What happened
Reports indicate a housing crisis in Italy, where rising rents are forcing workers, including teachers and nurses, into shared accommodation. Simultaneously, Italy is facing a shortage of specialized surgeons, characterized by empty specialization positions and an aging professional workforce. A study also noted that 15 million Americans live in counties without a general surgeon.

Why it matters
The housing crisis affects millions of Italian residents who spend over a third of their income on rent or mortgages. The surgical shortage threatens the capacity of public healthcare systems, potentially leading to longer waits and difficulty guaranteeing necessary interventions.
Italy and Spain are currently facing economic challenges related to strains in their housing markets, with the situation in Spain being reported as more severe.
