In an increasingly polarised world, the global flow of human resources has become a contentious issue, amplified by political extremism and economic uncertainty.

Populist and far-right movements in Europe, fuelled by similar anti-immigrant sentiments, have gained traction, while social tensions in countries like the UK and France have erupted in racist riots and protests.
