“Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us remembers seeing our colleagues die of starvation.”

The AFP news release has been released in French. Below is an English translation via Google translate.

Congrats!! Really interesting paper, well-deserved!

Ce constat illustre bien comment certains responsables politiques instrumentalisent un sentiment inexistant pour justifier des politiques migratoires toujours plus restrictives – au risque de nuire à l’économie et à la société française. (4/4)

📊 Cette tendance se vérifie même au sein des groupes traditionnellement les plus réticents à l'immigration : les personnes âgées (65+) et celles ayant un faible niveau d’éducation (moins que le bac). (3/4)

📊 Ces graphiques, basés sur les données de l’European Social Survey, montrent qu’une majorité de pays européens – y compris la France – voient une hausse du soutien à l’immigration en provenance des pays pauvres hors d’Europe. (2/4)

Here’s what happened to residents already living in Denmark’s “Ghettos”:

👉 Their income decreased.
👉 Driven largely by Danes who moved away shortly after the policy.
👉 This suggests native flight coming at a financial cost.

Unintended consequences of place-based policies can be costly. (3/4)

Did Denmark’s 2010 “Ghetto” policy achieve its goals?

Short answer: No.

Instead of improving conditions, the targeted areas saw their socio-demographic makeup worsen.

Why? Relatively better-off Danes avoided moving into these neighborhoods after they were publicly labeled as Ghettos. (2/4)
