Migration and integration are global problems. Taking into account internal migration, around three percent of the world’s population are migrants. In absolute figures these are approximately two hundred million people.

And there is a large number of countries, in which the problems of migration – and the issues of integration closely associated with this – are very high up on the political agenda.
