| Summary: | Migration is an intensely debated phenomenon in the first decades of the 21st century, both at the
international and national level, but most of the concerns are dedicated to the structure/size of international migrant
flows and to the root causes of their migration. The urban environment provides both high-skilled and especially low
skilled migrants higher employment opportunities. The increase of migrants in the urban area is triggered also by
population ageing, by the unequal development between the regions of the country or between states, by environmental
and climate instability, etc. Cities are also the areas that provide higher education opportunities and where are placed
the social networks to which migrants resort to either for integration, survival or economic opportunities. The paper
proposes an analysis of the interdependencies between the trends and structure/dimension of migration flows and the
urbanization degree in the main countries of destination at global, European and national level. |
