Migration and Mobility: The European Context

Migration and mobility are integral components of a globalized world, facilitating economic growth, cultural exchange and social diversity. Migration, whether for work, education or seeking asylum, enriches societies by bringing diverse perspectives, skills and experiences. Migration and mobility within the European context are critical components of the European Union's principles of freedom and integration. The Schengen Agreement facilitates the free movement of people across most EU member states, nurturing a sense of European identity and unity. Migration into Europe, both from within and outside the EU, enriches societies by bringing diverse talents and perspectives, contributing to innovation and addressing demographic challenges such as aging populations. The EU's policies on migration and shelter aim to balance the need for security with the commitment to human rights and humanitarian values. This book presents the complex subject of migration and mobility in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of migration. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
