This book examines the main policy controversies that have
emerged in the European Union over migration and its impact on the
welfare system. Does migration constitute a disproportionate burden
to member states' domestic labor markets and welfare systems?
Should noncitizens be entitled to social benefits in the state
where they live? Is there objective evidence and statistical data
indicating abuse of social benefits by noncitizens, "social welfare
tourism," or the "welfare magnet" hypothesis, in which migrants are
attracted to countries that provide more generous welfare?
The contributors analyze these controversies as they affect
different categories of noncitizens in the framework of EU law and
policy. They also examine the uses or misuses of data, information,
and social science knowledge in the debates over the reliance by
noncitizens on social benefits. The book concludes with a set of
recommendations addressed to EU policymakers.
