Internal migration within the context of the economic and financial crisis : trends and perspectives

Abstract

"This articles shows to what extent mobility within the EU has increased over the last years. The main reasons for this are the regional disparities on the labour market as well as the partially enormous differences in income between countries. While it is true that, as a result of the financial and economic crisis and the unemployment above all of young people in southern Europe, there was a shift in the migration flows from the southern European countries in crisis to northern European countries - which also led to a reduction in pressure on the labour markets in the countries especially hit by crisis - only a small part of the increase in internal migration is due to this migration of citizens from the GIIPS crisis countries. Much more than this, mobility within the EU is essentially dominated by the EU-2 and EU-8, that is, eastern Europe and the Balkan states." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku)
