Comparative Report on TCNs Economic Impact

Description

The qualitiative analysis answers two research questions: (a) what is migrants’ economic impact on European rural and mountain areas? And (b) Does in-migration provoke innovations in firms and changes in communities in these areas? Generally, in MATILDE regions migrants maintain local economies alive, enlarge the offer in local markets, and their presence triggers innovations. Nevertheless, migrants often experience exploitation under various forms.

In the quantitative analysis, we detected statistically significant correlations between the percentage of Third Country Nationals (TCNs) in a region and economic variables. While our findings should be interpreted carefully, some important implications must be highlighted. Most importantly, no homogeneous approach is possible towards TCN migration.
