News 9.4% of minors in the EU were non-nationals in 2024

As usual with stats like this, having to do with how wealthy or attractive a country is, of course there's a crazy difference between Austria and Slovakia, even though we border each other.

The highest share of non-national minors was recorded in Luxembourg (45.7%), Austria (21.9%) and Malta (19.3%). In contrast, shares below 1% were recorded in Slovakia (0.4%), Poland (0.8%) and Romania (0.9%).

We have the lowest share in the EU, meanwhile they are second only to Luxembourg, which if you've seen my posts like this before, you know that I always point out barely qualifies as an actual country anyway.

And that's just explicitly children who aren't citizens of those countries, not minorities in general, since minorities and immigrants who are citizens count as national under this.

And less than half of that in Portugal. Would you say the difference is purely about Spain being richer, or is there something more to it?

Probably because in Spain immigrants are treated like royalty, from women to institutions.

Sounds likely, thanks for the answer.

If you count those with the nationality it must be like 30-40% at least in countries like France, Great Britain or Germany

Undoubtedly.
