Abstract

Following the unprecedented increase in migration flows coming from the third-countries to the territories of the European Union’s member states, the migration crisis has become one of the most burning issues of the recent human geography research. Different aspects are concerned – including migration routes; demographic changes; economic, cultural or physical security of the receiving states. This paper aims to analyse socio-economic implications of the thirdcountries immigration to the Union’s member states. First chapter deals with the impact of economic migrants and asylum seekers on the labour market and level of unemployment in the receiving countries. Next, potential misuse of the socialsecurity system in the European Union by immigrants will be analyzed. Last chapter will conclude by exploring effects of migratory flows on the overall competitiveness and economic growth of the receiving states.
