Amendment No. 2 | Doc. 14143 | 13 October 2016
The impact of European population dynamics on migration policies
Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5, insert the following paragraph:
"The Assembly is also concerned about the negative impact of labour migration from some eastern European countries on their population dynamics and on the social situation of migrant families. These countries should counterbalance the negative effects of emigration on development, by combating the main push factors for people leaving the country, such as corruption, bad governance and a lack of fair justice systems. Special support should be provided to vulnerable families, including children who have been left behind by their parents."
Explanatory note
This paragraph reflects the rapporteur's findings from the mission to Moldova, in particular the negative impact of emigration on the Moldovan demographic situation and economic development.
