STATISTICAL ASSESSMENT OF MIGRATION CRISIS IN EUROPE
Abstract
This article deals with one of the most pressing socio-economic problems of our time - international migration. On the basis of factual materials and data from national statistical offices and international statistics, the authors estimated the extent of global forced displacement, explored the role of refugees in addressing the demographic problems of the European continent, and the distribution of refugee flows across European countries. The paper conceders the proposed approaches to adaptation and integration of refugees, and examines changes in the landscape of political forces in Europe in terms of «refugee crisis» and the proposals to transform migration policies put forward in the European Union.
