Recommendation

The wave of right-wing populism sweeping across Europe and the world has elicited extreme emotional responses on the issue of migration. In this candid lecture, Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, makes a case for migration that eliminates sentiment and presents the barefaced facts. getAbstract recommends Lagarde’s methodical analysis to policy makers responsible for integrating refugees and migrants and to all who want to arm themselves with official economic data that support a pro-migrant position.

Take-Aways

  • Due to conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, the world’s population of refugees increased by 40% between 2011 and 2014.
  • Some 4.6 million refugees have fled Syria, putting excessive pressure on two of its neighbors – Lebanon and Jordan. These receiving nations require urgent financial aid.
  • Within their first five years of arrival, the jobless rate is 22% higher for refugees than for native workers of similar education, age and language skills, and refugees’ wages are lower, though both disparities fade with time.

    Europeans urgently need to get comfortable with one of two ideas: higher levels of immigration or much, much later retirement. Europe's population structure can no longer support pensions.
