Nearly half of French food aid recipients are migrants, 90% of these come from Africa

 

New data shows that migrants account for nearly half of French food aid recipients, bolstering critics that assert that migrants, on the whole, are not actually a net benefit to Western economies but end up being an enormous financial burden.

 

Data from France’s National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) shows that migrants are vastly overrepresented among applicants for food benefits, with 44 percent being immigrants, compared to 10 percent of any metropolitan population on average. However, this share may be actually higher than INSEE indicates, as the agency is basing this figure only on the number of people who filled out the Food Aid survey; it also only included those who could answer their surveys in French. A self-administered questionnaire in English was offered to non-French speakers, but too few people agreed to even fill it out, so INSEE decided not to use the data.
