Increased cooperation on immigrant integration before departure would benefit migrant-receiving countries in Europe and countries of origin, new MPI Europe policy brief finds

Whilst the European Union and member states have invested significant resources to provide integration services such as language instruction to migration candidates at the earliest stage in the migration process, these pre-departure measures generally have not fully realized their potential. This MPI Europe policy brief argues that the absence of cooperation between origin and destination countries in the design and implementation of such measures limits their effectiveness in tackling labor market integration obstacles.
