More than a third (36%) of these people have acquired French nationality since their arrival.

Among the descendants of immigrants, those of the second generation are more than 50% to have only one immigrant parent, and those of the third generation (who have at least one immigrant grandparent) are nine out of ten to having only one or two immigrant grandparents.

The origins are diversified.

Where immigrants were mainly from southern Europe fifty years ago, they now come mainly from the Maghreb, Africa or Asia.

Thus, immigrants from Spain and Italy have increased from 882,000 in 2011 to 543,000 in 2021, while North Africans represent 2 million people (1.63 million in 2011).

In total, almost half of immigrants in 2021 are from Africa (3.31 million out of 6.96).

Women now represent half (52%) of this population (44% in 1968).

Immigration is concentrated in large cities, says the study, according to which 20% of the Parisian population is an immigrant, 32% in Seine-Saint-Denis.
