Výdaje na sociální zabezpečení jako determinant vnitroevropské migrace: případ Nizozemí v letech 2005-2018

The aim of the diploma thesis is to find out what is the influence of increased social expenditures on internal European migration between 2005–2018, focusing on Netherland. Recommendations for the Czech Republic are formulated according to the results of this research. The main focus is on Netherlands as it is a country with high rate of immigrants among the EU states. Concurrently they have one of the highest expenditures on social protection per capita among the EU countries. Comparation and regression analysis of panel data are the methods used to determine the influence of social expenditures of 20 European Union countries. Comparation method is used to analyse the influence of individual components of social protection on migration. Partial goal of the thesis is to determine, if the change in structure of social protection has impact on migration among the EU countries. On the contrary, regression analysis examines the overall impact of social expenditures on migration using two regression models – basic and enhanced. Models include economical, geographical and demographical explanatory variables. Additionally, the hypothesis states that increased expenditures on social protection in the Netherlands have negative and significant impact on immigration to this country. The result of the thesis is not clear as the hypothesis was only confirmed with the results of the enhanced model. The basic model shows that the impact is negative, however statistically insignificant. Thus, the hypothesis cannot be confirmed. The influence of change in structure of social protection on migration was detected as insignificant.
