In the short term, the refugee surge will increase the fiscal spending for the
basic needs of asylum seekers, which will in turn result in a modest increase
of 0.1% in GDP growth by 2017. After the recovery process, asylum seekers
start to seek for jobs, thus increasing the labor supply and employment in host
country. Because the effects of labor supply start to be realized later on in the
process, the medium term and long term effects may be significantly greater
but depend on the speed and success of the labor integration. Assuming a
successful labor integration, the IMF projects that by 2020, GDP of EU as a
whole will could increase 0.25% and can even reach a 1.1% increase in the
main host countries.
Not protecting refugees and not advancing their rights means not giving them
a chance to live, and not giving a shot of Europes economy to prosper.

Just like other human beings, refugees have a right for their basic needs to be
fulfilled, to feel secure and to not live in fear.
