The Future of the Arctic Human Population (Routledge Research in Polar Regions)

The Future of the Arctic Human Population seeks to explore the challenges of Arctic migration, immigrants, and refugees and how integrated societies can be developed. Moreover, it discusses disparities between regions on policies and their implementation.

This book explores how cross-border cooperation is needed to provide innovative solutions to migration challenges such as cultural differences, acceptance, and integration into local communities, and joining the labour market. It examines whether there are regional differences in well-being among immigrants in Arctic countries. The book considers how we can build and model integrated societies, and what tools and measure can be used to assess inclusive and resilient societies.
