“Global immigration is a complex phenomenon that has been constantly growing and evolving in recent decades, with profound economic, social and political implications worldwide. This increase reflects a long-term trend towards greater human mobility, driven by a number of complex factors – ranging from conflict and humanitarian crises to the search for better economic opportunities and family reunification. For example, the conflict in Syria, the war between Ukraine and Russia, the coup in Haiti that overthrew the democratically elected president, migration from Africa and Asia to Europe, as well as from Latin America to North America.
Migrants can bring new skills, knowledge and perspectives to host economies and societies, which can stimulate innovation and economic growth. In addition, migration can contribute to cultural diversity and social cohesion, enriching the social fabric of receiving communities.”
