Outh-north migration of eu citizens in times of crisis

Stanek, Mikolaj - Nama Orang

The global fi nancial and economic crisis has been hitting the European Union severely since 2008. Although the economic crisis began in advanced economies and then spread all over the globe, its impact and implications are far from being equally distributed geographically. This is particularly visible within the European Union. While some countries, mainly in the North, have weathered the crisis rela-tively well and have managed to recover from the initial fi nancial downturn, others, especially in the South, have been suffering from long-term fi nancial instability, high unemployment rates and worsening living conditions among wide segments of the population. In this deteriorating socio-economic environment, EU citizens have developed a wide variety of strategies to respond to the crisis, such as undertaking training in order to adapt to the changing needs of the job market, reducing house-hold expenditure, or taking to the streets to oppose the management of the crisis by their governments
