Migrant Workers Comprise Nearly a Quarter of Europe’s Workforce in 2022, UN Report Reveals
A recent UN report reveals that migrants accounted for nearly a quarter of the workforce in Europe in 2022. The International Labour Organization noted that the percentage of migrants in high-income regions, particularly in Europe, North America, and Arab states, has grown. This increase is linked to aging populations and rising caregiving needs. While employment among migrants rose, they faced higher unemployment rates compared to local populations, influenced by barriers such as language, unrecognized qualifications, and discrimination.
