Forecasts, Prospects, Analyzes, Strategies

  • As part of the analysis of migration flows and migration dynamics in the EU and OECD, we plan a forecast of migration development in the period 2020-2025 on a regional scale (states or macro-regions) with an impact on labor migration in the Slovak Republic, demographic characteristics and selected economic sectors. The analysis will use classical forecasting methods based on empirical data from the past, modeling and forecasting in several scenarios (taking into account the normative scenario of limiting migration flows due to the pandemic).
