** A note to readers (#)
------------------------------------------------------------

The Pew Research Center’s mission is to inform public dialogue and support sound decisions on issues where we believe we can make a difference. A case in point is our just-released report detailing a new estimate of the unauthorized immigrant population in Europe. ([link removed]) There hasn’t been a comprehensive estimate of this population since 2008, despite the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees in 2015-2016. Our study finds that the number of unauthorized immigrants in Europe peaked in 2016, then leveled off. Read our new report for more insights.

– James Bell, vice president of global strategy

------------------------------------------------------------

At least 3.9 million unauthorized immigrants – and possibly as many as 4.8 million – lived in Europe in 2017, according to new estimates. ([link removed]) The total is up from 2014, when 3.0 million to 3.7 million unauthorized migrants lived in Europe, but is little changed from a recent peak in 2016.

** East Germany has narrowed economic gap with West Germany since fall of communism, but still lags ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

The fall of the Berlin Wall 30 years ago this week brought far-reaching social and economic changes to communist East Germany, and people on both sides of the former barrier say the changes that have occurred since 1989 have had a positive influence on living standards in their country, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey ([link removed]) . But that does not mean the former East and West Germany are on equal economic footing today.
