Africa-Press – Cape verde.

This institute recalls that Cape Verde is a country considered “traditionally and historically” of emigration, which has become, above all, over the last two decades, a country also of immigration, with the entry of citizens from different countries and continents. .
In this context, the diversity of profiles in terms of origin, language, culture, religion, level of education, living conditions and access to services, among other dimensions, pose challenges to Cape Verde in terms of the management of migratory flows, integration of the communities that settle and reside in the country, to the production of knowledge on the subject and, necessarily, to the production of statistical data that reflect the trajectory of these communities.
