MIGRATION AND MIGRANT POPULATION STATISTICS [18 February 2014—originally from 13 December 2013]
This article presents European Union (EU) statistics on international migration, population stocks of national and foreign (non-national) citizens and the acquisition of citizenship. Migration is influenced by a combination of economic, political and social factors: either in a migrant's country of origin (push factors) or in the country of destination (pull factors). Historically, the relative economic prosperity and political stability of the EU are thought to have exerted a considerable pull effect on immigrants.
In destination countries, international migration may be used as a tool to solve specific labour market shortages. However, migration alone will almost certainly not reverse the ongoing trend of population ageing experienced in many parts of the EU.
