Integration of Immigrants in the EU

By immigrationprof

The BBC reports that a study of how Europe integrates immigrants has exposed wide variations in the welcome foreign workers receive. The European Union-backed research found Sweden doing the most to help migrants settle – and Latvia the least. Overall, EU nations are only doing half as much as they could, said researchers acting for a consortium of 25 organisations across Europe. The study of policies across the continent ranks countries on key factors affecting immigrants’ lives. The Migration Integration Policy Index is produced by a consortium of European organisations, led by the British Council and the Migration Policy Group in Brussels. It measures policies to integrate an estimated 21 million migrants across 25 EU member states by using 140 indicators.
