We still have the problem of the people moving to live in big cities and we want to integrate the foreign population better. Since 2018 we are leading a project about silver economy and we are aware of the potential of silvers so this project matches two sectors that we are working with and we see as main actors for the problem that we are facing.

In terms of immigration our index is not so clear, as is not desegregate this index, but we have contacts with associations that work with them and there is still many to be done to help them in terms of integration, especially to women.
