Solidarity Vs. Equal Opportunities In The Context Of Labour Mobility In The European Cultural Area

This paper deals with the correlation between the labour market conditions in some countries or regions and the migration effects, both the real and the perceived ones, as follows: The impact of migration on employment, with regard to equal opportunities and to what extent foreign workers add to or compete with resident workers; How wages are influenced by immigration waves in the country of destination and the correlation between the wages of the existing workers and those of the new immigrants; The extent to which the hypothesis that immigrants benefit by public social assistance and social services without contributing to them is valid; How the immigration policy influences the immigrants' conduct and what factors determine the modeling of the immigrants' conduct.
