6. Today’s Refugees Will Be Tomorrows CEOs
With the many conflicts taking place all over the world and the rise of populism and authoritarianism, it can be argued that populations fleeing such conflicts will only increase. However, experts believe that, as has been shown with the war in Ukraine, refugees are increasingly being not only welcomed more sympathetically and compassionately but systems are being put in place to integrate new arrivals more seamlessly into society.
The belief that these fleeing refugees are all poor and uneducated is starting to wain as the people fleeing these conflicts to more stable countries are showing that they have a lot to contribute to their new homes with more and more entrepreneurial success stories making headlines across the world. Even without conflicts, it is estimated that climate change will have displaced 1 billion people by 2030, so the world needs to be better prepared for populations on the move.
