Abstract

Foreign resident population (per 1,000 residents). A foreigner is a person who is not a citizen of the host country in which he or she is residing or temporarily sojourning.

Migration is an important factor for the development of a region, especially for those areas which are subject to depopulation or population ageing, as is the case of the Alps. In these cases, the autonomous population may not be sufficient to fulfill labour demand or to counter lower birth rates or population ageing. This is why foreign population resident in a territory is an important indicator to understand demographic changes and their drivers and to analyse the labour market.

In the Alpine area there is an average of 94.7 foreign residents per 1,000 residents, but the situation is very diverse according to the country taken into consideration: the lowest rate is in the Slovenian Alpine area with 41.3 foreign residents per 1,000 (followed by the French Alpine area with 62.3 foreign residents per 1,000), while the highest one is in Liechtenstein (335.0) and Switzerland (203.6).
