| Abstract: | Since European Union enables free mobility between its Members States, certain EU countries have become attractive destinations because of the working conditions and/or employment opportunities. As a result, some EU nations have experienced the inflow of large amount of immigrants and disturbances on their labor markets. With regard to this, the concept of Immigration Surplus that proposes that phenomenon of immigration can trigger a process of redistribution of wealth that could enhance the level of production and increase the national income can be applied for analyzing these processes. In addition, research literature suggests that deeper integration of immigrants into host countries can lead to higher levels of economic success. Thus, high levels of integration may lead to an increase in the Immigration Surplus of the host countries. This Master thesis deals with the specific aspects of immigration and the effects that the integration of immigrant groups may have in the national income during the years of 2007 to 2012. Through an appropriate analysis, this research attempts to provide a description of the immigration phenomenon in the EU, the consequences of it in the labor markets and the relation with the distinct integration policies implemented by the EU countries |
