Abstract:
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.

Keywords: migration, cultural identity, immigrants’ impact, equal opportunities
