However, the collection of international migration data lags behind, resulting in inconsistent and confusing estimates of expatriates worldwide.

Gianni D’Amato — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 09:20:49 +0000

La Suisse est-elle dans une situation de surpopulation ?

Philippe Wanner — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 07:30:02 +0000

Parmi les arguments les plus souvent avancés pour limiter l’immigration en direction de la Suisse, le fait que le pays est surpeuplé figure en bonne position. Les logements se raréfieraient, la capacité des trains, des routes et des écoles serait largement dépassée, et tout cela en raison de l’immigration. Bien

Der Ausländeranteil: Rest in Peace

Peter Streckeisen — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 07:30:04 +0000

Beide Säulen, auf denen er beruht, geraten aktuell ins Wanken: der ethnische Gruppismus und die Problemorientierung. Statistiker*innen, Soziolog*innen sowie Politiker*innen unterschiedlicher Couleur sollten auf diesen
