Immigration and Economic Growth in Europe and its Spatial Divisions

Abstract

This article focuses on issues related to the impact of labour migration on economic growth. The concept of immigration implies a new settlement that is more prosperous than before. This triggered an immigration offensive. In this study, we try to analyse the phenomenon of migration in EU countries, which are attractive regions for immigrants and developed regions of prosperity and economic growth. Due to the aging demographic structure of the EU, labour migration will have a positive impact on economic growth. However, the right to freedom of movement within the EU leads to migrants moving to these countries. As a result, migrant workers in the EU  countries have placed a heavy burden on the social security system, and this study predicts that labour migration will have a negative impact on the EU's economic growth. In the results we found that there is a positive impact of immigration on economic growth specifically GDP and International tread.
