The United States has experienced a substantial influx of immigrants over the past two years. In 2023, net international migration surpassed its pre-pandemic peak. This flow of immigrant workers has acted as a powerful catalyst in cooling overheated labor markets and tempering wage growth across industries and states.

Inflation is generally defined as the continued increase in the average prices of goods and services in a given region. Following the extremely high global inflation experienced in the 1980s and 1990s, global inflation has been relatively stable since the turn of the millennium, usually hovering between three and five percent per year. There was a sharp increase in 2008 due to the global financial crisis now known as the Great Recession, but inflation was fairly stable throughout the 2010s, before the current inflation crisis began in 2021. Recent years Despite the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the global inflation rate fell to 3.26 percent in the pandemic's first year, before rising to 4.66 percent in 2021. This increase came as the impact of supply chain delays began to take more of an effect on consumer prices, before the Russia-Ukraine war exacerbated this further. A series of compounding issues such as rising energy and food prices, fiscal instability in the wake of the pandemic, and consumer insecurity have created a new global recession, and global inflation in 2024 is estimated to have reached 5.76 percent. This is the highest annual increase in inflation since 1996. Venezuela Venezuela is the country with the highest individual inflation rate in the world, forecast at around 200 percent in 2022. While this is figure is over 100 times larger than the global average in most years, it actually marks a decrease in Venezuela's inflation rate, which had peaked at over 65,000 percent in 2018. Between 2016 and 2021, Venezuela experienced hyperinflation due to the government's excessive spending and printing of money in an attempt to curve its already-high inflation rate, and the wave of migrants that left the country resulted in one of the largest refugee crises in recent years. In addition to its economic problems, political instability and foreign sanctions pose further long-term problems for Venezuela. While hyperinflation may be coming to an end, it remains to be seen how much of an impact this will have on the economy, how living standards will change, and how many refugees may return in the coming years.

The largest number of immigrants in Germany were from Ukraine, as of 2023. The top three origin countries were rounded up by Romania and Turkey. Immigrants are defined as having left a country, which may be their home country, to permanently reside in another. Upon arriving, immigrants do not hold the citizenship of the country they move to. Immigration in the EU All three aforementioned countries are members of the European Union, which means their citizens have freedom of movement between EU member states. In practice, this means that citizens of any EU member country may relocate between them to live and work there. Unrestricted by visas or residence permits, the search for university courses, jobs, retirement options, and places to live seems to be defined by an enormous amount of choice. However, even in this freedom of movement scheme, immigration may be hampered by bureaucratic hurdles or financial challenges. Prosperity with a question mark While Germany continues to be an attractive destination for foreigners both in and outside the European Union, as well as asylum applicants, it remains to be seen how current events might influence these patterns, whether the number of immigrants arriving from certain countries will shift. Europe’s largest economy is suffering. Climbing inflation levels in the last few months, as well as remaining difficulties from the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are affecting global economic development. Ultimately, future immigrants may face the fact of moving from one struggling economy to another.
According to a survey from late December 2024, the two most important issues among Republican voters in the United States were inflation and immigration, with ** and ** percent ranking it their primary political concerns respectively. In contrast, only *** percent of Democrats considered immigration their most important issue. Inflation and healthcare were the leading issues among democrats in the U.S.
The inflation rate for the Republic of Ireland in July 2025 was ****percent, up from ****percent in the previous month. During the provided time period, inflation reached a peak of *** percent in October 2022 and was at its lowest in October 2020, when prices were falling by *** percent. In the most recent month, the sector that had the fastest rate of price rises was food, at **** percent, while prices were falling by *** percent for transportation. Inflation subsides but remains a key issue Like in many other economies, the global inflation crisis led to increased inflation in Ireland from 2021 to 2023, reaching a peak of *** percent in late 2022. As of October 2024, approximately ** percent of people in Ireland still saw inflation as one of the top two most important issues facing the country, down from ** percent in July 2022. Furthermore, inflation was second only to housing as a top issue in the country, ahead of health, immigration, and climate change. Another survey highlights the fact that despite inflation subsiding, people are still struggling with the cost of living. When asked how well they are coping financially, just ****** percent of respondents advised they were living comfortably, with ** percent just getting by and almost a quarter finding it quite or very difficult. Key economic indicators of Ireland Ireland's overall gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024 was estimated to be over ***** billion U.S. dollars, up from ***** billion dollars in 2023. Due to the presence of several multinational companies in the country, however, Ireland's GDP figure can be misleading. In 2022, for example, while overall GDP was ***** billion Euros, gross national income (GNI) was just ***** billion Euros, with modified GNI even lower at ***** billion Euros. Looking at Ireland's labor market, there were around **** million people employed in the country in 2024, while the unemployment rate has, as of early 2025, fluctuated between **** and *** percent since April 2022.

This survey was conducted among residents of California on many topics including rating of public officials, auto insurance, voting behavior, education, welfare, inflation, pollution, government services, crime, immigration, health, abortion, and taxes.
This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, what their expectations were for the next 12 months, and how they viewed economic and social issues in their country compared to the European Union (EU). Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the EU, including how well-informed they felt about the it, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being an EU member (or would benefit from being a future member), and the extent of their personal interest in EU matters. Another major focus of the surveys was personal data privacy. The survey asked respondents about their knowledge of the rules and requirements in protecting personal data, the ability of the law to protect citizens from entities accessing their information, and whether law enforcement should be able to access personal information for the purpose of fighting crime and terrorism. For the second major focus of the survey, the national economy, respondents were asked to evaluate their personal financial situation and their nation's economy, as well as to estimate the official growth rate (Gross Domestic Product), inflation rate, and unemployment rate, and then to compare these rates to those from previous or future years. Respondents also provided their opinion about the use of statistical information, especially for political decision-making. As a final major focus, respondents were asked about their interest in scientific research including how the media presents information about scientific research and what types of media they access to get information about this topic. Additional questions were asked of respondents in regard to globalization and involvement of the EU in this process, the 50th anniversary of EU achievements, the development of environmental, foreign, and immigration policies, and the European Council presidency. Demographic and other background information includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, origin of birth (personal and parental), marital status, left-to-right political self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, ownership of a fixed or a mobile telephone and other durable goods, type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (select countries).

This dataset contains data on the amounts paid by refugees and migrants to facilitate their movement to Europe. The dataset has over 2400 records from 2000 to present, for refugees and migrants from locations mainly in African, the Middle East and Europe.
The estimates on the amount paid by refugees and migrants is based on the number of "detections" reported by European Member States to FRONTEX (before 2008: data from Clandestino which is compatible with said routes) and the median of various sources mentioning the prices of a crossing on a FRONTEX-defined route.
A 2011 report on Turkish refugees points out that one in 7 refugee or migrant do not pay for the journey (other accounts, like the Red Cross data set, show a higer rate of paying passengers - 97%). Therefore, a 15% discount was applied to the final results for all routes.
Prices are in 2014 euros (prices before 2014 have been corrected for inflation).
According to a survey conducted in December 2024, approximately 34 percent of Americans wanted Trump to prioritize inflation throughout his first 100 days in office. Additionally, 30 percent wanted to see Trump focus on immigration in his first days in office.
Immigration was seen by 58 percent of people in the UK as one of the top three issues facing the country in September 2025. The economy was the second-most important issue for voters this month, ahead of health as a distant third. These three issues have consistently been identified as the most important issues for voters. Labour's popularity continues to sink in 2025 Despite winning the 2024 general election with a strong majority, the new Labour government has had its share of struggles since coming to power. Shortly after taking office, the approval rating for Labour stood at -2 percent, but this fell throughout the second half of 2024, and by January 2025 had sunk to a new low of -47 percent. Although this was still higher than the previous government's last approval rating of -56 percent, it is nevertheless a severe review from the electorate. Among several decisions from the government, arguably the least popular was the government withdrawing winter fuel payments. This state benefit, previously paid to all pensioners, is now only paid to those on low incomes, with millions of pensioners not receiving this payment in winter 2024. Sunak's pledges fail to prevent defeat in 2024 With an election on the horizon, and the Labour Party consistently ahead in the polls, addressing voter concerns directly was one of the best chances the Conservatives had of staying in power in 2023. At the start of that year, Rishi Sunak attempted to do this by setting out his five pledges for the next twelve months; halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce national debt, cut NHS waiting times, and stop small boats. A year later, Sunak had at best only partial success in these aims. Although the inflation rate fell, economic growth was weak and even declined in the last two quarters of 2023, although it did return to growth in early 2024. National debt was only expected to fall in the mid to late 2020s, while the trend of increasing NHS waiting times did not reverse. Small boat crossings were down from 2022, but still higher than in 2021 or 2020. .

The European legal services industry is in a phase of consolidation, signified by a surge in both intranational and international M&A activity. This is as firms aim to expand into new markets and enhance specialisation amid intense competition and growing client expectations. Legal service providers benefit from demand from households and businesses across all sectors of the economy, limiting revenue volatility. The provision of countercyclical services like advising on restructuring and insolvency issues has helped support revenue from the corporate market during volatile economic conditions. Industry revenue is projected to expand at a compound annual rate of 1.5% to €234.2 billion over the five years through 2025, including a 3.3% hike in 2025. The corporate law service industry has been adversely affected by fluctuating economic conditions. M&A activity and business expansionary activity rebounded strongly in the two years through 2022, driving demand for corporate law work. However, a severe inflationary environment and geopolitical tensions have heightened economic uncertainty, hindering revenue growth. Despite some businesses having in-house legal teams, many businesses continue to outsource complex legal needs to external expert legal professionals, creating a consistent revenue inflow for law firms. Faced with client demands for greater cost transparency, law firms are increasingly adopting fixed-fee billing models. Competitive pressures, investment in technology and staff costs have weighed on profitability over the past five years. Revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 7.9% to €342.6 billion over the five years through 2030. Anticipated improvements in economic conditions, including easing inflation and revived business sentiment, should drive renewed demand for commercial legal services. At the same time, growing regulatory complexity (like ESG mandates, AI legislation and data privacy) will sustain the need for specialist expertise, benefitting firms focusing on these niches as they can command premium fees. Driven by the need to scale, diversify and tap into new markets, both intranational and international M&A activity is expected to continue, with larger firms seeking to acquire specialist boutiques and expand their international footprints to better serve cross-border clients. Technological advancements offer further opportunities for legal services as they enable greater efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and allowing firms to deliver more valuable, tech-driven solutions. However, competition will continue to intensify, providing some threats to legal services providers.
