How immigration and depopulation is going to shape 2025

The term 'immigrant' has become a buzzword. It's key to many high-stakes political battles—from Europe to the Americas to Asia. Nowadays, borders are both fluid and contested. Thus, immigration has paradoxically emerged as a major political agenda in a globalized world.

With 3.6 per cent of international migrants in the global population, the political attention to the issue is disproportionate. It may seem a small fraction, but it represents a sharp increase over the decades.

According to the IOM, in 1990 there were 153 million people living in a country other than their countries of birth. In 2020 this number increased to 281 million.

This number is over three times the estimated number in 1970.
