New study on the fiscal impact of immigration on the Netherlands.

- Study, family & asylum migration are a net negative regardless of the age of arrival.

- If the parents make a net negative contribution, the second generation won’t be much different

1/ A brief thread looking at government funding of various NGO sectors. Given the sheer number of NGOs I will only be looking at those who receive the most in government funding in each sector. Only have data for 2020 as Benefacts was shut down. Image
2/ Health. Most of the government funding here is going to hospitals or the governing structures that look over a hospital/s. Image
3/ Social services. As far as I can tell, a lot of the funding here is going to charities that assist those with intellectual disabilities. Image

1/ Asylum in France is out of control. A new report by the Observatoire de l'immigration et de la démographie (OID) shows how the system has become a loophole for mass immigration, with little oversight or limits.
2/ Nearly 600,000 people in France are direct beneficiaries of asylum. That’s over 10% of the foreign population. This surge stems from ever-expanding definitions of who qualifies for asylum.
3/ The report highlights how the system has moved far beyond its original purpose. Asylum was once meant for small numbers of truly persecuted individuals. Today, it’s a catch-all for broader categories, such as gender-based violence or sexual orientation.

As 2024 draws to a close, I thought it would be interesting to review key immigration statistics and to compare some of them to others in Europe. A thread🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
Let’s start with the aspect of our immigration system that’s in complete disarray: asylum. By December 15th, 17,535 asylum applications had been lodged in Ireland—the highest number in the state’s history. And the year isn’t even over yet. Image
The overwhelming volume of applications has led to severe delays in processing, causing a backlog that continues to grow. As of December 15, 32,619 individuals are being accommodated by the state. You can things went out of control following the invasion of Ukraine. Image

A thread exploring social housing applicants by broad nationality across county and city council areas using data from the Housing Agency.

First up: Raw numbers showing social housing applicants by nationality for each council area. Image
Now, same data but represented as a % of the total applications for the respective council areas. Image
Some maps showing the % for each non-Irish group. Image

Ireland’s economy looks stable on the surface, with a budget surplus and strong tax revenues. But beneath that stability lies a vulnerability: our reliance on high-income earners and corporate tax revenues. Here’s why that matters more than it might seem 🧵 Image
Ireland’s budget surplus depends on a narrow tax base. A small group of high earners (those earning over €100,000) contribute nearly two-thirds of all income tax receipts. Their taxes fund much of our public services and welfare programs. Image
Then there’s corporation tax. A staggering 27% of Ireland’s total tax receipts comes from this source, with most of it paid by multinationals drawn here by our low corporate tax rates. This tax revenue is crucial for maintaining Ireland’s budget surplus. Image

Despite its reputation as a tax haven, Ireland's personal tax rates are among the highest globally. So, lets examine where the money's going and what we are getting for it🧵
Ireland's reputation as a tax-friendly nation doesn't hold true for individuals, especially high earners. A €100k salary in Ireland nets only €64k in take-home pay, lower than Germany, UK, USA, and Switzerland. Ireland also boasts the 5th highest capital gains tax in Europe at 33%
The USC, introduced during the recession, pushed Ireland's top income tax rate to one of the world's highest. Despite economic recovery, a budget surplus, and improved debt-to-GDP ratio, significant tax cuts haven't materialised. With no sign of changing.
