In this Mobility Minute, Partner Rajiv Naik discusses various topics covered in Fragomen's 2024 Worldwide Immigration Trends Report, including:
- the reduction of restrictive immigration policies in countries around the world;
- how these shifts are being tempered by disruptions from geopolitical events and uncertainty around inflation, resulting in a renewed focus on national security and domestic concerns surrounding mobility decisions;
- how governments are learning to balance these concerns amidst growing populations and lower fertility rates, which are causing drastic demographic changes; and
- the increasing digitalization of immigration platforms and how it can help governments find solutions to the aforementioned demographic and social considerations.
The report helps guide mobility professionals and travelers alike by examining the main drivers and themes in immigration policy—and, based on how they progress, projections related to these important factors.
