“…Welfare generosity in and of itself does not say anything about migrant access to that welfare. Most country comparative studies also ignore the eligibility requirements that structure access to welfare benefits (Kahanec and Guzi 2022). The use of contributory schemes such as unemployment benefits is conditioned by qualification periods and contributions requirements that vary from country to country.…”

This chapter reviews existing research analysing the relationship between immigration and welfare states. This relationship is analysed in both directions, namely how immigration affects the welfare state, and how the welfare state affects migration. The chapter focuses on 6 prominent research questions in the field, namely 1) how different welfare regimes accommodate immigrants 2) how immigration may affect political support for the welfare state 3) the fiscal effects of immigration on the welfare state, 4) whether migrants make residence decisions based on welfare (‘welfare magnet hypothesis’), 5) whether the public supports excluding migrants from welfare (‘welfare chauvinism’) and 6) the extent to which welfare states depend on immigrant labour. The chapter then draws on available evidence to highlight two relevant research agendas for the future.

This article analyses the determinants of international migration flows within the European Union and specifically focuses on the role of cultural and linguistic differences in explaining the size of these flows. For that purpose, a set of indicators of cultural distance is controlled for along with economic, demographic, geographical, political and network variables using data from 28 member states of the EU over the period 1998–2018. Economic factors play an important role in examining migration flows, but economic differentials alone may be insufficient to explain the uneven real-life migration pattern in the EU. The results suggest strong evidence of the importance of linguistic distance in explaining the direction of migration flows across the EU.
