                    Immigration has contributed positively to the EU's economic growth and helped offset the effects of an aging population. However, the increasing pace and diversity of immigration pose challenges for many EU countries in terms of effective integration and maintaining social cohesion.                
            
                            
                    How do EU member countries differ in their success at economically integrating immigrants and what factors account for these disparities? To what extent are immigration and integration policies across the EU aligned? And importantly, how can social cohesion be preserved while enjoying the economic benefits of immigration?
