There is a possibility of continued unrest in Europe in 2019, as the continent seeks to address issues such as people's wellbeing, migration, and populism.

Ordinary people are leading harder lives, under pressure from unemployment, stagnant incomes, reduced welfare, and rising prices.

The Yellow Vests movement in France is likely to continue in early 2019, while German CDU leader, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, faces a number of challenges.

Amidst all this, the EU is to hold parliamentary elections in May, with experts claiming the body is an appropriate vehicle to promote the development of economies, societies and cultures.
