Restrictive integration policies in Malta has made it a “slightly unfavourable” country for migrants’ integration, after the MIPEX 2015 index ranked it 33rd out of 38 countries.
“Over the last seven years integration in Malta has become increasingly restrictive, whilst public attitude towards migrants and integration remains a critical barrier to effective integration. The national integration strategy being developed is an opportunity to tackle these issues and to significantly improve Malta’s track record on migrant integration,” The People for Change Foundation national partner for the Migration Policy Group and the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs – which assessed the index – said.
