What is "their part" ? Let's expand and explain this assumption please.

It's nonsense because OP's title makes it seem like this is all refugees but a lot of it is people from Western countries like UK/US/Australia/Canada, Switzerland, Norway. Which probably explains almost all of the top countries: Sweden has a lot of Norwegians, Cyprus a lot of Turks, Ireland and Malta a lot of Britons. Which has nothing to do with "playing a part".

Also, if you're already displaced from your home, would you want to stop at one of the light grey countries or would you rather move a couple hundred kilometers more and entertain the possibility of earning 3-4x as much?

You're probably right about Ireland and Malta, but Norwegians are not the reason Sweden is on top, they amount to at most 1% of the Swedish population. Sweden genuinely has taken in a ton of refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East/Asia/Africa/Balkans.

>We already have huge issues with assimilation here, it’s not a secret

Explain. The UK is well known to have the best assimilation of migrants so that'll be difficult...

No it isn’t. There are whole unassimilated communities that are susceptible to radicalization. There’s no government onus to spread populations across the city so you end up with ghettos. Unlike the Netherlands where the government takes new arrivals and deliberately puts them in neighborhoods with high density of other nationalities
