Abstract

This article addresses the theoretical aspects regarding the concepts, theories, factors, types of migration. As well as the historical and current directions of migrants; the structure of migration policies, the documents that regulate migration in the EU, as well as the directives related to immigration. The demographic situation of the EU is a deplorable one, characterized by the continuous aging of the population, the decrease in the birth rate, here, according to the opinion of several specialists, the migrant population comes to solve the existing problems. Migrants belong to the 27-38 age group, who move with their families for an indefinite period of time and whose fertility is high. Migration plays an important role on the economic development of the EU states, but also on the economies of the states of origin of the migrants. Foreigners represent cheap labor, who are ready to work for any wage and who will fill those positions that the local population ignores. Among the recommended strategies regarding the efficiency, regulation, integration of migrants can be listed: a. Developing a common approach to migration and development at sub-regional and regional level through: building trust between states and increasing understanding of issues related to migration; eliminating barriers, creating networks and facilitating the harmonization of positions within the region; developing capacities and making changes in certain laws, policies and concrete practices related to the way of integration of migration at the European level. b. Promoting in-depth collaboration and cooperation with neighboring EU states in the field of migration; c. Data on migration should be available in several languages, in some places it was only in English; d. Application of all directives in practice; e. Avoiding the isolation of migrants in "ghettos" and "banlieus"; f. Uniform distribution on the territory of the country, so that the population is not concentrated only in metropolises; g. Organization of linguistic, cultural and professional courses to facilitate their integration into society; h. Providing residential spaces with sufficient living conditions; i. Organization of information companies regarding non-discrimination and solidarity; j. Regulation of human trafficking, illegal work, crime; k. Children's schooling, as well as the development of democratic capacities; l. Ensuring national and regional security; m.
