Ubóstwo w Afryce Subsaharyjskiej jako zagrożenie dla Europy
Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa as a threat to Europe

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the impact of poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa on Europe with special emphasis on the European Union and itsmember states. Sub-Saharan Africa is the poorest region of the world; Europe isone of the richest and most developed. The two continents border on each other, which in the past and today means that the transition of people and goods between the two regions is relatively easy. The disproportion in the level of development and the ensuing inequalities must bear on mutual relations. The research problem is how the Sub-Saharan poverty impacts Europe.The adopted hypothesis is that such an impact exists and is of a negative character. The poverty of Sub-Saharan Africa is a challenge and can be a threat to Europe. One single independent threat is weakening of Europe’s international position. Another area of hazards for Europe is the instability of the African states and the frequency and intensity of armed conflicts. Specific areas of hazard such as: migrations, security, natural environment overlap and interdepend on poverty as well as one another. The research method is a review of the state of research and analysis of secondary data, including economic and demographic forecasts.
