Sociálne dávky nie sú lákadlom pre imigrantov

Nastavenie sociálneho systému nehrá takmer žiadnu rolu pri rozhodovaní sa imigrantov, či do danej krajiny prídu alebo nie. Obavy z prílivu migrantov do krajín EÚ kvôli využívaniu sociálneho systému sú tak neopodstatnené. Migranti si totiž vyberajú krajiny primárne podľa priaznivých ekonomických podmienok. Potvrdzujú to výsledky štúdie nemeckého Inštitútu pre výskum práce (IZA) so sídlom v Bonne, na ktorej spolupracovali aj Slováci zo Stredoeurópskeho inštitútu pre výskum práce (CELSI) v Bratislave.
