Abstract:
|
The current migration and refugee crisis in Europe requires an understanding of the
different migration drivers beyond the well-known economic determinants. In this
paper, we view migration from a broader human security perspective and analyze the
determinants of regular and irregular migration flows from Africa to Europe for the
period 1990-2014. Our results show that, in addition to economic determinants, a
combination of push and pull factors influence the migration decisions of individuals.
In particular, rising political persecution, ethnic cleansing, human rights violations,
political instability and civil conflicts in African source countries are all signi cantly
associated with increased migration flows into European destination countries.
Therefore, our results underscore the need for the EU and European countries to
collaborate with the source countries, not only in terms of supporting economic
development in the source countries, but also in promoting human security: human
rights, democracy, peace and social stability.
Keywords: International migration; asylum seeker; refugee crisis; human security;
Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood.
