Immigration : les faits, les chiffres, les débats

by karlcow

Dans le débat autour de l’accueil de nouveaux migrants, le chiffre à prendre en compte n’est pas celui des nouveaux arrivés, mais celui du « solde migratoire » : les entrants moins les sortants. On l’estime à 100 000, car il y a environ 100 000 sorties. Ce solde est parmi les plus faibles d’Europe, en pourcentage : 1,7 pour mille. Même en le mettant à 2 pour mille (pour aller au devant des critiques des sceptiques qui prétendent que l’on minimise ce chiffre), on reste très en dessous de tous nos voisins : Espagne 14 pour mille ; Italie 10 ; UK 4 ; Zone euro 5,1 ; UE 4. Europe du Sud 10,3. Seul le chiffre de l’Allemagne est proche du nôtre (2), mais ce pays était à 10 il y a peu.

Avec Daniel Sainte-Rose et sa caméra, nous avons sillonné la Martinique et recueilli ces témoignages uniques pour qu’ils servent à l’Histoire. Serge Bilé

Inside Japan’s Puzzle Palace - New York Times

In hindsight, though, he now thinks that oversight was a brilliant mistake. The fact that no one controlled sudoku’s intellectual property rights let the game’s popularity grow unfettered, Mr. Kaji says. Nikoli does not plan to trademark other new games, either, in hopes this will also help them take off. “This openness is more in keeping with Nikoli’s open culture,” said Mr. Kaji, who sat on a sofa in his Tokyo office among pillows adorned with printed faces of racehorses. “We’re prolific because we do it for the love of games, not for the money.”
