Ekonomické dopady masivní imigrace do členských států Evropské unie v období let 2007 – 2018

The bachelor thesis analyzes economic impacts of mass immigration to European Union countries. The theoretical part describes economic theories related to mass immigration and further compares theories of causes of the migration crisis and various immigration policies that governments of target countries can apply in the effort to prevent the negative effects of immigration. The theoretical part also compares the observed migration wave with migration waves that occured in the past. Unlike most other publications examining mass immigration to European Union countries, both parts of the thesis often rely on the theoretical basis of Roy's model, which distinguishes between positive and negative migration flows. The practical part evaluates economic impacts of mass immigration by examining the labor markets and social systems of European countries. Compared to the size of mentioned risks and costs of mass immigration, the thesis has found only a few benefits. Results of the thesis confirm the hypothesis stated by President Vaclav Klaus that mass immigration to Europe poses a fatal threat to the EU Member States.
