Sorry, couldn't find anything as reliable has these govt. websites translated in English. You gonna have to spend some time on Babel Fish.
Let me translate the core of that video: in the past five years the number of Italians abroad went from 3 mil. to 4.1 mil. This in 5 years, not 15 nor 50.
The area of origin of today's immigrants hasn't changed much: the first to move out come from Southern Italy and the Italian Islands (Sardinia and Sicily), followed by Northern Italians and then residents from Central Italy.
This numbers don't count those that (thanks for EU less strict immigration policies) are currently abroad but haven't officially changed their residency yet.

Good call. Close enough, since that Switzerland is # 3.
First is Germany, then the UK.
15% of current Italian immigrants have at least a Bachelor's Degree. Even if the many Student Associations argue that the actual percentage of Italian graduates leaving every year is much higher.
Personally: I have 4 cousins in Italy (actually I had) one is working in Canada, one is studying in the Netherlands, the other two are studying\working in London. As far as my family is concern that's 4 out of 4 of the new generation.
