N2 - Migration is a hot topic all over Europe these years mainly due to the wars in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraqi creating large flows of refugees. In addition, people in Africa migrate towards Europe as a consequence of unemployment, poverty, and climate changes. Also, within Europe, there has been challenges related to the free movement of people within the European Union, and the immigration of mainly Eastern European into UK has been mentioned as one of the main reasons to Brexit. Thus, in order to be prepared to meet the challenges related to migration, a decision-support tools is needed to handle immigration in an efficient but also human way. The current research describes how detailed population projections – dividing immigrants into different groups depending on their origin, can provide a sound foundation for decision making in the municipalities, which is the end destinations for the immigrants.
