Why Europe has more and more refugees | DW News

New conflicts on the EU's doorstep - and around the world - have led to increasing numbers of people seeking refuge in the bloc. Last year, the EU received more asylsum applications than at any time in the last seven years. That's acccording to a new report by the European Union Agency for Asylum.
The figures are the highest since Europe's 2015-2016 migrant crisis, when more than a million people fled across the EU's borders. Applications decreased in the years that followed, but then rose again. Syrian and Afghan nationals submitted the most applications in 2023, followed by Palestinians and then Turkish nationals. The latest figures don't include the more than 4-Mmillion Ukrainians given refuge since Russia's invasion.
Germany recorded more than 330,000 asylum applications in 2023 - more than any other EU member state. It's followed by France, Spain and then Italy.

*One big problem that nobody wants to talk about:* Aid to Africa that was given freely without any expectation by the UN or the West that the local governments would institute change in their societies! *People in Westernized countries stopped having big families because the cost of living is so high* (any incentives given by the states did not cover the full cost of a stay-at-home Mom and a big family.) *FACT: Children on a low-tech, rural area farm are free labor. Children living in cities are expenses, big expenses!* It sounds cruel, but this is a realistic question: How many children per woman in Africa or per woman in the Middle East should the taxpayers in Europe pay to maintain? Shouldn't the expectation be that the aid is given with some sort of societal change (basically, "carrots and sticks") The Left has made a big deal out of the condemnation of colonialism. But what else can you call what Stalin did to eastern and central Europe? There is really no reason why the people of 2024 Europe should feel guilt about what their ancestors did! Despite the climate and the wars; Europe created societies that thrived and offered increasing opportunity and wealth to the members of said societies.

[@tomorrowneverdies567]

The reason why "westernized" countries stoped having big families is not because the cost of living is high (real income has increased the past 20 years - faster than the cost of living). From what I can understand, the main reason is that people like spending time watching KZbin videos, watching films, series, video games, and spending their money on expensive travelling, instead of raising enough children. The Amish in the US for example, have the constraint (put by themselves on theirselves) to not use this technology inside their households. And their fertility rates are more than 2.1.

Insufficient deterrence is always the answer to such a question. Although vague, the right level and forms of deterrence are whatever gets the results you want. So, such discussions should always focus on means of deterrence. Root causes are almost always out of your control, and the obligations to one's own citizens persist no matter what.

[@dano9008]

No, it isn't based on the premise that migration is objectively bad, but on the premise that it can be. And so, we (a society) incur an obligation to choose ends and subsidiary ends to ensure it isn't. So, to the question "to what end"? prudence is the answer and the details and subsidiary ends need to be sorted out by a society. The choices made will vary and the relative success will vary as with anything. Sorry if that seems like dodging the question, but I'm just an American who likes DW. It isn't my prerogative, but it is the kind of issue that every nation needs to manage in the service of prudence as that nation defines it. Canada has a long history of choosing exactly the immigrants they want. In the US, we have long strived for immigrants who would assimilate well and we had and used elaborate social research on different subgroups in different nations to identify such groups. Sadly that has fallen away of late and we have a crises. Immigration can be managed well, but you can't be passive at all.

[@johney3734]

is it that we rank economici growth by how much we consume and not the standard of living of the ppl in the nation perhaps (life gets harder but some how we are a richer nation)

[@goodale1812]

unlimited people importation + near zero interest for a decade and a half + seizing the foreign assets of a half dozen countries and counting... ...and BARELY breaking into the all important GDP growth required to qualify for larger, impossible to reconcile, debt loads. There's a massive reckoning being Can kicked in the halls of Federal Europe. Iif you want a glimpse of the future, just look across the pond.

[@Lucas-wn5wm]

GDP includes inflation too

[@FowerpullCrenbarry]

Finally a SMART comment. Yes, Germany is doing better on the whole but wealth disparity is growing. The sensible reaction to this is to vote for parties that try to mitigate this with social policies (liberal, social democratic parties). Acting like the country is destroying itself and blaming liberals and poor minorities for that is counter-productive

[@johney3734]

@@FowerpullCrenbarry i agree that voting as far left wing as you can is a good plan for there social policy's.. that said standard of living is a complex issue with many different ways of affecting it. a negative force is immigration it lowers wages as the boss can pay you less and replace you at the drop of a hat.. it also will increase housing and food costs. only recently has it become politically incorrect to fear world overpopulation for some reason. my suspicion its a capitalist conspiracy to keep wagers low.. i like were your head is at with the left wing .. but i dont think any political party has the interest of the people at hart only the interest of $$$$$$

[@FowerpullCrenbarry]

@@johney3734 While that opinion makes sense from a worker's point of view (shortage of labor is good for the individual worker), it seems cynical to accuse those in favor of migration of capitalist motives, because migration and the resulting economic growth do not only benefit the evil rich people but they are also good for the rest of society (if social policies are implemented)

I am having the same feeling when I leave my house because there are no Germans on the street. I am retired and when I meet young people during my walk they are polite and respectful to me. I never have the feeling of hatred or jealousy that I am living in their country.

[@FowerpullCrenbarry]

What? Apparently you can guess people's nationality just by looking at them, the more you know

[@arcabuz]

@@FowerpullCrenbarry you can guess the ethnicity and based on that you may have a pretty accurate idea of the time of arrival

[@FowerpullCrenbarry]

@@arcabuz Fair enough. Doesn't mean that we should analyse people like a robot and put them in categories, or judge them for when they arrived. Our ancestors had to arrive here at some point in history

governments might need this mass of people to keep the system going, in Europe the birth rate has constantly been declining over the last 30 years, the system instead was born and developed throughout times in which the birth rate had constantly been growing. They might be afraid to collapse, and fir good freaking reasons, if you don't get tax money in your defence budget will get smaller and this will certainly make dictatorships super happy, see what I mean?
