“Dismantling Mediterranean Myths” is the Center for Mediterranean Integration’s new blog series. Using facts and statistics, it confronts misconceptions about the region. By opening up barriers, the series hopes to reframe, refresh and advance the thinking on Mediterranean issues.

This issue focuses on the myth of Arab youth and migration and is based on a contribution by Youssef Courbage, Research Director of the National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED) in Paris.
