Sažetak
-Scientific research into the causes and consequences of migration is very complex and challenging. Although there is no database that connects the migration characteristics and consumption of households from which people emigrate, in this paper we have tried to indirectly approximate another push factor of migratory movements in Europe. Knowing that the economic forces behind migration are very strong, we further deepen them and explain them by the structure of consumption. The initial hypothesis that less developed European countries have greater financial pressure on the household budget, primarily on the basis of primary goods proved to be correct. Aggregate data shows that measure of food expenditures as a share of total consumption correlates with emigration rates. EU countries with the largest share of food and beverage expenditures also have the largest negative migration balances (Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, and Croatia). Also, consumption of luxury goods is less represented in household consumption in these countries. In the context of greater financial pressure on the household, there are differences regarding the type of household. We found that households with three generations (grandparents, parents, and children), as well as those with children and students, had significantly higher mean consumption compared to mean income measured per household member. Weak purchasing power of the population of Croatia and other predominantly emigrant countries in Europe, can certainly be considered a relevant indicator and cause of economically conditioned migration among the countries of the European Union.
