European Economic Migration Flow, Earnings and Unemployment in Decade of 2000

This research analyses how emigration and immigration in the European Union are linked to variations in earnings and unemployment along the last decade. A correlation analysis throughout several years has revealed that changes of the level of earnings and unemployment cause changes of emigration and immigration. Thus when unemployment increases it encourages emigration and also immigration decreases. Results have also indicated that lower earnings imply higher emigration. It depends on imbalances of earnings and unemployment during the economic growth or downturn.
