Summary

Switzerland is a country situated at the convergence of Western, Central and Southern Europe. There is significant immigration to Switzerland from various parts of the world, especially from Italy, Germany, former Yugoslavia, Albania, Portugal and Turkey. With about a quarter of the population born outside the country, it has one of the highest proportions of immigrants in the western world. Migration patterns are shaped by the interaction of legal standards, economic forces and societal elements. Switzerland has an aging native population like most other European countries. However, it has a high population growth from net immigration. Switzerland now has strict policies which restrict immigration and has a quota system on the entry of foreigners. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on expats and migrants in Switzerland have been included in this book. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects and recent researches in this field. This book on immigration in Switzerland is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts.
