EU Highlights:

The fourth edition of the Canada-EU Migration Platform, dedicated to the integration of migrant women, is now out - watch the webinars on EWSI. Stay tuned for the closing event on 18 December, to be streamed live on EWSI.
The European Commission presented the new EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion (2021-2027) which comes with concrete actions and earmarks funding for initiatives meant to bring inclusion for all.
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) published a study projecting the net fiscal impact of immigration in the EU. It found that the increased labour market participation of non-EU migrants could generate large fiscal gains for host countries.
Another study by the JRC found that being both a woman and born outside the European Union reduces a person's chance of active participation in the European labour market, even if that person is highly educated.
