IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Finding solutions to questions related to immigration and immigrant integration is currently highly topical in the EU. Immigrants integrated into the labor market positively impact the economic outcomes of the host country and its labor market. Immigrants who quickly find employment and are satisfied with their jobs do not burden the financial system of the host country. Conversely, unemployed immigrants place a financial strain on the economy. The goal of our study is to identify which EU countries are least burdened by immigrants in terms of their labor market integration. Countries are evaluated based on their overall benefit, expressed through the Weighted Sum Approach, a multi-criteria decision-making method. The overall benefit is determined by employment rates, the proportion of immigrants finding work within three months, and job satisfaction among immigrants. The highest overall benefit was observed in Poland, the Czech Republic Malta, Hungary and Slovakia.
