Background:

Tens of thousands of refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have arrived in Europe, which has stirred sharp disagreement among European Union countries on how to “process” and accommodate them [1]. As a result, European countries may face challenges of resources supply, particularly the economic pressures.

Consideration:

Initially, the refugees’ pouring into Europe may lead to high unemployment. An overwhelming majority of refugees need to get jobs to feed their family members. However, owing to their poor education, most refugees may have trouble finding proper occupations in advanced European nations, which may even bring about social problems.

Secondly, the refugee migration may get European countries’ governments into financial difficulties. Because most of the European countries provide social welfare for their people and migrants, the government will have to spend more money on social services as more and more refugees enter Europe countries.

Last but not least, refugee flows in Europe may have negative effects on original inhabitants. Owing to the increase of population, the prices of daily supplies will inflate. Consequently, the living standard of people in Europe will decrease.

Personal opinion:

Although receiving refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere contributes to increase of labor quantity in advanced Europe, which benefits the long-term economic development of these countries on one side, and contributes to the rise of political reputation of a nation, such as providing humanitarian aid to refugees one the other side. Yet I hold my view that, instead of arguing about the ratio distribution to European countries, the European Union is supposed to take necessary steps to consider and resolve the immediate series problems caused by refugee migration, such as acceptance of refugees, refugee shelter construction and even assist the resolution of the political disputes and war issues in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
