Summary/Abstract: The subject analysis is concentrated on the research of factors that influence the process of migration, which is a major problem of the contemporary foreign and security policy of the European Union (EU). The paper first provides appropriate theoretical explanations of economic immigration from World War II, as well as the existence of an empirical link between economic factors and immigration policies of the EU member states. With this approach, the goal of the research is derived from the knowledge about the influence of certain economic indicators on the approaches to solving the contemporary migrant crisis. The results of the research confirm the existence of a link between economic factors and migratory movements. Taking into account the frequency of economic factors and economic motivational impulses in migratory movements, using the methods of observation, analysis of content, comparative and statistical methods, the author has managed to point out the most important factors of migratory movements towards the EU member states.
