THE PHENOMENON OF MIGRATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

This article analyzes the phenomenon of migration in the European Union (EU), using a quantitative analysis based on EU data, but also a qualitative analysis of the theories on migration and the EU regulations in this field. Some relevant theories on migration, as well as the evolution of the EU legal framework are presented. An important section of our research is assigned to the description of the demographic impact of the migratory flows and the measures to stimulate the integration of migrants. The author proposes a balanced approach to the advantages and disadvantages of migration in the Community space, leaving the reader the freedom to formulate his own conclusions based on the analysis carried out.
