DG anthology: Europe’s migration crisis

During 2014 the number of migrants and refugees forced to leave their home countries due to conflict and humanitarian crises reached nearly 60 million worldwide. The trend has continued to become the greatest displacement of people since the end of World War II, and with a huge proportion seeking to enter Europe from countries outside the EU, it has triggered dramatic social and political upheaval across the continent.
