Youth UP Europe: transforming the migration narrative

This joint Bruegel - European Youth Forum event will discuss how we can shift the narrative of migration to a more positive one ahead of the European elections next year?

Date: September 6, 2018, 3:30 pm Topic: Macroeconomic policy

Increased public attention on migration and refugees has fuelled divisive political discourse. Despite numerous inspiring initiatives striving for inclusion, the political narrative often dehumanises migrants, turning them into a security threat.

The question of immigration will undoubtedly be of great impact for the upcoming European elections next year. As part of the joint series of Youth-up events Bruegel and the European Youth Forum invite young people, policy makers and researchers to discuss how improving the perception of migration and the inclusion of migrants can create a positive impact on our societies.

The economic policy consequences of the war

The Ukraine war will have significant economic policy consequences for the European Union and its members, arising from the adverse supply shock triggered by the rise in oil and gas prices, energy independence measures, the inflow of refugees and boosted defence spending. Their direct budgetary implications could be 1.1/4% of GDP in 2022.
