OECD Reports 4% Drop in Permanent Migration Amid Global Retreat on Immigration

The OECD reports a 4% decline in permanent migration as global trends shift towards stricter immigration policies, notably influenced by the U.S. and EU approaches to human migration.

• The OECD reveals that permanent migration has dropped by 4%, reflecting a significant global retreat on immigration amidst rising nationalist sentiments.
• In the U.S., the Trump administration has intensified efforts to expel migrants, contributing to a climate of fear around human migration and stricter immigration controls.
• European nations are individually and collectively strategizing to limit immigration, as many governments increasingly connect economic challenges to rising migrant populations.
