Abstract

Migration has always been a complex phenomenon that has influenced people all over the world since the dawn of human civilization. Migration became increasingly prevalent as globalisation progressed. Globalization has catalysed significant advancements in migration, unveiling both favourable and adverse implications. On the positive front, migration has emerged as a conduit for individuals worldwide to pursue enhanced employment prospects, improved political and social landscapes, and elevated standards of living. Conversely, globalization has expedited negative facets of migration, exemplified by the proliferation of human trafficking and smuggling, phenomena often resulting in harm inflicted upon innocent individuals, including children. With the formation of the European Union (EU), the European continent became increasingly familiar with the process of migration, one of the most typical migratory trends being from Central-Eastern Europe to Western Europe. As it is often assumed that poverty and corruption in sending countries of migrants trigger them to leave the area, the purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the phenomenon of migration inside the EU and the economic security of European citizens who choose to migrate, with a focus on Central-Eastern Europe. The present paper's purpose was accomplished using inferential statistical analysis. Economic security was composed of three indicators, rule of law and government effectiveness and persons at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The findings indicate that on one hand, as rule of law and government effectiveness get better, the migration rate becomes positive, on the other hand, as more individuals face poverty or social exclusion, the rate of migration declines. The conclusions of this paper align with a segment of the literature on migration motivations, suggesting that the presence of a considerable degree of economic security is requisite for the initiation of migration.

Keywords: migration; economic security; poverty; rule of law; European Union; Central-Eastern Europe.
