The spatial concentration of immigrants across and within European countries is highly heterogeneous, tending to reinforce the internal spatial disparities within EU Member States and regions. Although European regional data show that the highest levels of foreign-born population concentration correspond to those NUTS2 regions that contain a large city or metropolitan area, there are other place-based determinants that might explain their attractiveness to immigrants. Using a comprehensive database at NUTS2 (regional) and LAU2 (local) levels for three large European countries in terms of immigrant population (Italy, Spain, and France), comparable results show how the relevance of these determinants depends on the country under analysis and the spatial unit chosen. This provides challenges for the design of a common future European policy addressing the unresolved demographic issues. Understanding the main regional and local factors of attraction to foreign-born population within countries is crucial to explain the present spatial concentration patterns and anticipate future migration flows, especially in a context where immigrants are the fastest-growing population group in those European countries. Nevertheless, there might be a trade-off between the foreign-born population alleviating the territorial ageing and depopulation issues and the search for spatial justice.

移民的空间集中度:区域吸引力还是地方吸引力?

欧洲国家内部和内部的移民空间集中度高度异质化,往往会加剧欧盟成员国和地区内部的空间差异。尽管欧洲地区数据显示,外国出生人口集中度最高的地区对应于那些包含大城市或大都市区的 NUTS2 地区,但还有其他基于地方的决定因素可能解释了它们对移民的吸引力。使用三个欧洲大国(意大利、西班牙和法国)的 NUTS2(地区)和 LAU2(地方)综合数据库,就移民人口而言,可比较的结果显示了这些决定因素的相关性如何取决于所分析的国家和选择的空间单位。这为设计解决未解决的人口问题的未来共同欧洲政策带来了挑战。了解吸引外国出生人口的主要区域和地方因素对于解释当前的空间集中模式和预测未来的移民流动至关重要,尤其是在移民是这些欧洲国家增长最快的人口群体的背景下。然而,在缓解领土老龄化和人口减少问题的外国出生人口与寻求空间正义之间可能存在权衡。了解吸引外国出生人口的主要区域和地方因素对于解释当前的空间集中模式和预测未来的移民流动至关重要,尤其是在移民是这些欧洲国家增长最快的人口群体的背景下。然而,在缓解领土老龄化和人口减少问题的外国出生人口与寻求空间正义之间可能存在权衡。了解吸引外国出生人口的主要区域和地方因素对于解释当前的空间集中模式和预测未来的移民流动至关重要,尤其是在移民是这些欧洲国家增长最快的人口群体的背景下。然而,在缓解领土老龄化和人口减少问题的外国出生人口与寻求空间正义之间可能存在权衡。
