The European Inclusion Index – Is Europe ready for the globalisation of people?

The EU sets itself up as the most open and inclusive society in the world. But most European countries are lagging behind in their efforts to recruit skills from around the world and manage diversity within their own societies. Getting this right will be key for the EU's prosperity, social cohesion, and its ability to stand for democracy and human rights on the global stage. The European Inclusion Index will rank European member states' attempts to promote progressive citizenship and inclusion policies. The Index will assess the policies put in place to challenge discrimination, as well as the ability of migrants and ethnic minorities to participate actively in the social, political and economic lives of their host communities. The Index aims to become an indispensable tool for campaigning organisations and advocacy groups; policymakers from member and accession states; the media and the general public.
