ation Migration Flows in European Union: Economic Factors and Perspective Statistical Trends

Abstract

The economic openness of European Union (EU) countries causes the constant international migration of the inhabitants inside the EU and beyond its borders. This research revealed the international migration flows of EU highlighting the depopulation problems of some EU countries interrelating them with the economic factors of international migration. Analysing the current statistical trends, the projections of population changes were extrapolated in migrants attracting and depopulating EU countries. The statistical probabilities to reduce the emigration were calculated for the most depopulating eu countries.
