Today, approximately 3.4 percent of the world’s population are international migrants – peopleliving outside their country of birth. In the future, the number of people who move from onecountry to another may increase due to population growth in developing countries, increasedmobility, political unrest in some world regions, and climate change. The question is how muchmay international migration flows increase and where will migrants go? The Horizon 2020 project Future migration scenarios for Europe (FUME) focuses on understandingthe patterns, motivations, and modalities of migration at multiple geographical scales, frominternational through regional to the local, and on developing possible future scenarios of migrationto Europe. These scenarios shall improve our understanding of the complexity and diversity ofmigration – and support migration, integration, labour market and cohesion policies at differentgovernance levels. This policy brief answers key FUME research questions, summarizes important project findings,and presents policy recommendations. It is based on fieldwork carried out in selected countriesof origin including in-depth individual and group interviews of migrants, a review of migrationliterature, an expert survey of migration researchers, and a Delphi survey of migration experts. |
