AQUISITION OF CITIZENSHIP STATISTICS

Eurostat
AQUISITION OF CITIZENSHIP STATISTICS [18 November 2014]
Data from March 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database.
This article presents recent statistics on the acquisition of citizenship in the European Union (EU).
In 2012, 818 100 people obtained citizenship of an EU-28 Member
State, an increase of 4.0 % compared with 2011; More people had
acquired the citizenship of an EU Member State than in any other year
during the period from 2002 to 2011. The main contribution to the
increase at EU level came from United Kingdom (+16 300), followed by
Ireland (+14 300) and Sweden (+13 500). The increase in Ireland,
however, is a consequence of the efforts in the past two years to reduce
the backlog of citizenship applications.
Most
new citizenships in 2012 were granted by the United Kingdom (193 900 or
24 %), Germany (114 600 or 14 %), France (96 100 or 12 %), Spain
(94 100 or 12 %) and Italy (65 400 or 8.0 %).
Of
those acquiring citizenship of an EU-28 Member State, 87 % had
previously been citizens of non-EU countries. Of these, citizens of
Morocco and Turkey made up the highest numbers, followed by citizens of
India, Ecuador and Iraq.

MIGRANT INTEGRATION STATISTICS--SOCIAL INCLUSION [21 November 2014]
Data from July 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database.
Migrants play an important role in the labour markets and economies of the countries they settle in. This article presents European Union statistics
on the social inclusion of migrants as part of monitoring their
integration and assessing their situation in the labour market. This in
turn makes it easier to evaluate the outcomes of integration policies.
The indicators presented in this article are based on the Council conclusions on integration of 2010, the subsequent study ‘Indicators of immigrant integration — a pilot study’ (2011) and the report ‘Using EU indicators of immigrant integration’ (2013).
The present article elaborates on the existing Zaragoza indicators [1] on
social inclusion together with some proposed additional ones. The
indicators presented here cover the following social inclusion areas:
§ people at risk of poverty and social exclusion;
§ income distribution and monetary poverty;
§ living conditions;
In
this article, data which are presented in the tables but are affected
by low reliability due to small sample size or high non-response rates,
are not used in the analysis.
For the purpose of this article the following terms are being used to describe various migrants groups.
For the population by country of birth:
§ Native-born – means population born in the reporting country
§ Foreign-born – means population born outside the reporting country
§ EU-born – means population born in the EU, except the reporting country
§ Non-EU-born – means population born outside the EU
For the population by citizenship:
§ Nationals – means citizens of the reporting country
§ Foreign citizens – means non-citizens of the reporting country
§ EU citizens – means citizens of the EU countries, except the reporting country
§ Non-EU citizens – means citizens of non-EU countries
STATISTICS ON ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION
European Commission
Eurostat
STATISTICS ON ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION [16 December 2014]
Data from September 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database.
This article presents the European Union (EU) indicators on the enforcement of immigration legislation (EIL). It provides statistics on non-EU citizens refused entry at external borders,[1] apprehended
as being illegally present or subject to an obligation to leave the
territory of an EU Member State. The indicators in this article can be
regarded as an official record of persons subject to enforcement of
immigration legislation, providing a general overview of the outcomes of
territorial surveillance and control procedures.
According
to the available data, irregular migration to the EU decreased
significantly between 2008 and 2011, then stabilised over the last three
years. The situation for individual EU Member States however varies in
trend and level due to specific national factors such as national
wealth, history and culture, geographical position, type and length of
borders, border infrastructure, border control, judicial procedures,
national policy and the legal framework related to irregular migration.

Press Release 18 November 2014
Many
immigrants in Europe struggling to move out of low-skilled jobs;
European governments have opportunities to prioritize policies to secure
upward mobility
WASHINGTON
and GENEVA — Against a backdrop of aging populations and persistently
low economic growth, few European governments are doing enough to help
recent immigrants move from low-skilled precarious jobs and into decent
work, says a new report by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) and
International Labour Organization (ILO).
The
report, Aiming Higher: Policies to Get Immigrants into Middle-Skilled
Work in Europe, shows that while some countries have made sizeable
investments in labour market integration policies over the past decade,
they have focused primarily on getting immigrants into work. As a
result, these policies have struggled to facilitate career progression
over time.

A GLOBAL ASSESSMENT OF HUMAN CAPITAL MOBILITY: THE ROLE OF NON-OECD DESTINATIONS [May 2014]
by Erhan Artuç, Frédéric Docquier, Çağlar Özden, Christopher Parsons
[full-text, 63 pages]
Abstract
Discussions
of high-skilled mobility typically evoke migration patterns from poorer
to wealthier countries, which ignore movements to and between
developing countries. This paper presents, for the first time, a global
overview of human capital mobility through bilateral migration stocks by
gender and education in 1990 and 2000, and calculation of nuanced brain
drain indicators.
