Migration from Sub-Saharan Africa's Countries to the European Union Member States: Do the Prospects for Better Economic Well-Being Matter?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

International migration is not a new phenomenon. However, because of growing number of people coming from less developed countries to the more developed ones migration has become serious challenge creating a need for new approaches how to cope with it. International migration can be interpreted in positive as well as negative consequences. Migration from Sub-Saharan Africa&apos;s countries to the European Union Member States has been seen by populist politicians and thus media as a threat for European future. Therefore, most migrants coming to Europe are considered by general public to be economic migrants looking for better living conditions. However, unacceptable living conditions in many Sub-Saharan Africa&apos;s countries can be understood the violations of basic human rights and thus these immigrants have to be regarded as refugees. The aim of the paper is to describe trends in the number of asylum applicants coming to the EU Member States from Sub-Saharan Africa, and to assess if the prospects for better economic well-being can explain differing number of asylum applicants registered in the EU Member States. Conclusions are based on a review of relevant academic literature as well as on own statistical analysis done for the period of years 2008-2017.
