Using IOM data, MPI Europe analysts examined the situation in 10 Central and Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, and Slovakia. Join us for this interesting online discussion.

As the 🗳️ U.S. elections approach, immigration remains a pivotal topic. The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) offers first-ever projections of shifts in the working-age population by immigrant generation through 2040, based on differing immigration scenarios. 📊 With an aging population and declining birth rates, the old-age dependency ratio is projected to rise from 29% currently to 37% by 2040, putting increasing pressure on a shrinking workforce. 👉Currently, immigrants and their U.S.-born children make up nearly 27% of the civilian population. 👉 Depending on future immigration policies, the number of working-age immigrants could change dramatically from their current level of 35.4 million—dropping to 18.5 million if immigration is halted or rising to nearly 47 million under a high immigration scenario. 👉Moreover, the second-generation adult population (the U.S.-born children of immigrants) is expected to grow by 64%, highlighting its critical role in sustaining the U.S. labor pool. ✍ As MPI analysts note, limiting immigration could hinder productivity and strain vital social programs.

From remittances to social enterprises, the support of diaspora members has been vital for Ukraine’s resilience.
