Source: Cedefop calculations departing from Eurostat’s Europop 2010 database. Indicator calculates the
difference between the long-term projections of population with and without migration and divide that
difference by the projection of the total population with migrations.
Spain (28.1%) and Italy (30.6%) have significant long-term projections.
Germany, in spite of not standing out in this indicator, due to its large host
population, has a large absolute long-term projection of 8 million immigrants.
The proportion of foreign-born with the receiving country’s citizenship tends
to vary according to its immigrant integration policy. Such policies take into
account several elements, such as the conditions of the labour market, the
qualification levels of immigrant individuals, and the cultural characteristics of the
immigrant population. In general this is a pressing issue for third-country
nationals, who constitute around 90% of the requested citizenships granted
inside of the EU countries (Eurostat, 2011b).

In 2011, most full citizenships were granted in Germany (109 600), Spain
(114 500), France (114 500), Italy (56 100) and the United Kingdom (177 500).
Only in two countries were the majority of new citizenships granted to citizens of
another EU Member State: Hungary (to Romanians) and Luxembourg (to
Belgium, German, Italian, and Portuguese).
