?:abstract
  • "Immigration from outside Europe (or outside the EU) is on the political agenda, either by looking for (qualified) labour or because of unintended inflow of migrants. The focus of this paper is on effects of migration on social security - on social security schemes as well as on social security of persons. These effects can differ according to the branch of social security (health, old age etc.) and its institutional design (its structure). It can affect also macroeconomic variables relevant for social security financing as well as social security of natives. In this paper only effects regarding migration in the receiving country (the 'host country') are discussed, trying to give an overview on several dimensions of this very complex topic. The paper is structured as follows: Starting with a few remarks on terminology focused on immigrants (2), some demographic data are mentioned as one element of factors influencing migration from outside the EU beside other push and pull factors for migration (3). Then some aspects regarding structure and characteristics of immigrants are mentioned that seem to be relevant for social security (4). Social security often is closely linked to integration into the labour market. This will be discussed (5), before some effects on old-age security as well as on the health sector and means-tested benefits are dealt with in the main part of the paper (6). Because such effects much depend on institutional rules, this will be mainly illustrated by comparing Germany to Spain (where this is possible). Finally there will be some tentative conclusions regarding the title of this paper (7). In order to answer questions about the effects of migration in particular from outside the EU or outside Europe, longitudinal data are required - as often in economic and social policy -, trying to identify, for example, cohort-specific differences and developments and taking into consideration the heterogeneity of migrants. Regarding the question on the appropriate migration policy there are some doubts that a focus on intended relatively short-term migration may be successful or adequate."
