The Times of India: Migrating to Europe? Avoid Latvia like the plague
Migrating to Europe? Avoid Latvia like the plague
Going by the newest league table, potential migrants to Europe should head for Sweden and avoid Latvia like the plague. The study, whose results were released on Monday in Brussels, was a European Union-financed project conducted by the Migrant Integration Policy Index with the British Council. Examining 140 key factors that affect the lives of immigrants, the study found the five countries with the largest 'foreign' populations - the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy and France - are in the top half of the league table, with Italy leading. But Sweden, overall, won more points than any other European country.
There are estimated to be 21 million immigrants in the EU's 25 member states, excluding Romania and Bulgaria.
