The European Union between uncertainty and hope

The ISMU annual Report on migration enters its 27th edition in 2022. Over\r\ntime, the Report has become a useful reference for people working on migration, both within and outside Italy. As the health emergency subsided in the\r\nsecond half of 2021, public interest on migration resurfaced along with the\r\nchallenges that migration poses to Italy and the European Union.\r\nIn addition to the traditional areas of interest (health, work, education,\r\nand the legal framework) and to statistical aspects (ISMU estimates that\r\n5,756,000 foreigners live permanently in Italy as of 1st January 2021), the\r\n27th edition of the Report devotes particular attention to the attitudes and\r\norientations of Italian people towards migration, as well as to the experience\r\nof migrant women in terms of discrimination and positive valorization.
