Surge has helped economies recover from inflationary crisis, but has also prompted voter backlash
Legal migration to some of the world’s richest countries reached an all-time high in 2023, sparking a voter backlash against governments despite the trend boosting growth and job creation. Roughly 6.5mn people moved to the 38 countries that make up the membership of the OECD through permanent migration routes last year. That was an almost 10 per cent increase on the previous record of 6mn who moved in 2022, a report by the Paris-based organisation showed.
The US received more than a million applications for asylum — more than the total for asylum claims in all the OECD’s European members combined. “Lower numbers from 2025 onwards would not be a surprise,” Dumont said, adding this could lead to “increasing tensions” as routes for legal migration narrowed.
