Sažetak
The free movement of labor is beside the free movement of goods, services, and capital one of the four essential freedoms of movement in the European Union (EU) and is considered the cornerstone of convergence policy. These freedoms are necessary both for the coherence of the EU's internal market and for the efficient functioning of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Migrations are not only an economic issue but also a cultural and political one. People are mostly voting with their feet for economic reasons, but this trend was reinforced by recent waves of political migration to Europe from volatile North African regions following the Arab Spring movement and wars in Iraq, Syria, and lately also from Ukraine. Without political motives for migration in mind, migrants in Southeastern European countries have mostly an economic agenda. There is a huge amount of literature discussing the pros and cons of migration from both perspectives: emigration and immigration countries. The quantitative analyses are mostly inconsistent and disagree with their conclusions. This paper attempts to go back to the basic theoretical deductive-nomological approach without any prejudice regarding migration directions. This paper is at the same time the theoretical beginning but also the result of a project regarding migrations: their reasons and their consequences.
