Image shows a clip of the Population Europe Policy Insight web page with the text: Policy Insights Rethinking Migration and Integration in Europe: From Crisis Management to Democratic Inclusion By We-ID experts Claudia Neu, Hill Kulu, Ljubica Nikolic, Öndercan Muti, Sarah Christison Local cultural and regional contexts strongly shape how migration is perceived. At present, the EU’s migration policy oscillates between management and control on the one hand, and integration and inclusion on the other. Yet integration ultimately unfolds in local communities and workplaces. Beyond employment and economic participation, these spaces can nurture both inclusion and democratic culture — after all, democracy often begins on the shop floor. Above an image of a person sitting on a stack of pallets inside a dim warehouse while a large metal shutter is partly open, letting sunlight spill across the floor.

Image shows cover page from the Bollettino della Società Geografica italiana [Bulletin of the Italian Geographical Society for the editorial: Geographies of Ageing: Trends and Perspectives Abstract Population ageing, a rapidly expanding and globally widespread phenomenon, manifests with varying intensity and patterns across territories, generating new social and demographic geographies. The nineteen articles collected in this thematic issue offer a broad and comprehensive overview of the interactions between population and territory, examining ageing from multiple perspectives and across different territorial and spatial scales, ranging from the European to the Italian context. Despite their methodological and thematic diversity, the contributions interweave to form a multifaceted narrative on the challenges and opportunities associated with ageing and its territorial implications.
