Immigration and integration
The recently (15 Oct 2007) published Migrant Integration Policy Index
(
MIPEX)
shows the level of migrant integration endorsed by all the EU states
(excluding Bulgaria and Romania and including Switzerland, Norway and Canada).
MIPEX is a handy quick-reference guide to migrant integration policies in Europe.
Using over 100 policy indicators it scores countries on
six
key dimensions of integration policy.
Alongside the policy indicators, the Index also provides a rich fact file of background information on migration for each country.
The research is based on data privided by independent experts from all involved countries.
That data was then compiled within the designed framework by Migration Policy Group
and the whole process was overseen by the independent Scientific Advisory Committee.
The clear winner is Sweden which tops the table in all six categories while the country least favouring
migration was found to be Latvia.
The full results are below.
