MIGRATION IN EUROPE, A REALITY OF OUR DAYS

Abstract

Concerns have arisen that increased migration to Europe may be an indirect consequence of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Global food prices have risen to record levels as a result of the invasion. Hunger, it has been assumed, may drive people to migrate. However, the drivers of migration are complex. Many factors other than food prices may influence decisions to migrate. There does not appear to be a general relationship between global food prices and migration to Europe. The global flow of remittances is unlikely to be significantly affected by the indirect effects of the invasion.
