Migration in the Mediterranean: the first Mediterranean Migration Report released by CARIM
The Euro-Mediterranean Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM) released on October 12 its first annual report, Mediterranean Migration - Report 2005.
This report offers a comprehensive survey on migration to, from, and in transit through, the Mediterranean countries of the Middle East and North Africa (Med-MENA), and gives a perspective from the South looking North rather than the other way around. It contains a regional overview, followed by a section for each of the ten Med-MENA countries comprising chapters on the demographic and economic, legal, and political dimensions of migration, an appendix of statistics and maps.
The ‘Cooperation project on the social integration of immigrants, migration and the movement of persons’ (EuroMed Migration) is a regional initiative launched by the European Commission (EuropeAid Cooperation Office) in February 2004 as part of the MEDA programme. Its goal is to create an instrument for observing, analysing and forecasting migratory movements, their causes and their impact, in Europe and in the Mediterranean partner countries. The CARIM has been set up in order to implement the EuroMed Migration project. The Consortium is composed of a coordinating unit set up at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute (Florence), and a network of scientific correspondents based in Mediterranean partner countries. External experts from the north and the south also contribute to its activities. The report can be downloaded from the CARIM website.
