Migration to Europe will increase in 2024, thinktank says

Austria’s ICMPD predicts increased migration to Europe in 2024 before new laws come into effect. Heightened by election campaigns, asylum applications are expected to surpass 1 million in 2023, emphasizing the urgency before policy changes. Migration to Europe will increase in 2024 as people try to reach the continent before the introduction of new laws aimed at cutting the number of arrivals. Unsettled by multiple election campaigns in Europe, including the UK, and the US, during which immigration will be a divisive topic, many of those looking to come to Europe will rush to arrive before the system changes, predicted the Austrian-based International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). Final data from the EU for 2023 is expected to show more than 1m asylum applications were made in 2023, up by about 20% on 2022 and the highest number since 2016, according to the ICMPD.
