Running head: REFUGEE CRISIS 1 The impact of refugee challenges and opportunities in Europe GEN 499 General Education Capstone Barbara Garcia Instructor: Carlos Olivo Date: 9/1/2018 REFUGEE CRISIS 2 The impact of refugee challenges and opportunities in Europe Introduction The impact of refuges in Europe has had negative challenges. Emergence of ethnic conflicts and wars in countries such as Lebanon and Syria has forced many innocent women, men and children to seek for asylum in Europe. The number of people seeking for homes in Europe has skyrocketed from two hundred thousand in 2006 to more than one million as of the year 2015. Displaced individuals from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have been compelled to make journey to Europe on foot. The economic impact of refuges in Europe is likely to be positive for the short term based on the fact that refugees arriving in Europe need to be fed and housed. According to the United Nations, it is necessary for countries in Europe to address medical needs and train refuges to be ready to enter the labor market. This is a clear indicator that countries in Europe are required incur additional financial expenditure in order to address increased needs of the refugees. This is grounded on the fact that upon gaining access in Europe, majority of asylum seekers are faced with myriad problems such as language barrier, poor academic qualifications and the complicated process of applying to be granted asylum in the country. Challenges and opportunities posed by increased surge of refuges do have a significant impact to European countries. Dovigo, F. (2018). Challenges and Opportunities in Education for Refugees in Europe. Studies in Inclusive Education, Volume: 37. According to the book, surge of refugees in Europe do pose significant challenges to the education in European school systems. The article relies on historical documents to justify the fact that the problem of refugees in European schools cannot be given a blind eye. The book is REFUGEE CRISIS 3 essential in addressing the plight of refuges as it gives insights for researchers, policy makers and teachers who are after including refuges in various academic programs. The key finding does indicate that the impact of refuges in European schools is immense hence it is prudent for governments and stakeholders in various schools to come up with indomitable solutions in order to address problems facing refugees. Dovigo addresses the pertinent issue of the recent increased migrations of refuges in Europe who happen to be fleeing their home countries due to war and other hard living conditions. The entire process of emphasizing on promotion of systematic inclusion policies does mean that counties do recognize the plight of refugees in the European education systems. Effective implementation of school based interventions and programs are necessary to reap positive opportunities and eliminate challenges of refugees in the European education system. Naimou, A. (2016). Double Vision: Refugee Crises and the Afterimages of Endless War. Johns Hopkins University Press Volume 43, Number 1, 226-233. Naimou explains a scenaro of increased refuges and other illegal immgirants in the Europen countries. Accoring to the article, immigrantys especially refuges have been treated in inhumane manner such as being branded cusuatities, criminals and temporary visistors among other forms of vilifications. The manner in which refuges and immgrnats are treated is due to the fact that their actions are painted in negative ways. Having relied on number of scholalyr articles, Naimou explains that overseeing immigrants does entail use of humanitarian strategeis to address the plight of refuges in society. Naimou justifies the fact that immgirants pose as threats to national security as they break through borders that are intended for placing safeguards for respective countries. She cites the REFUGEE CRISIS 4 examle of Hungary to show the fact that refuges should be handled with a lot of carefulness because when they breach security safeguiards, the entire process results into violence within the host country. Naimou states that free passports in Europem countries are still available but should be temporarily halted in order to address the problem of refugees in Europe. EEAG. (2017). Immigration and the Refugee Crisis – Can Europe rise to the Challenge? The EEAG Report on the European Economy, 82–101. EEAG, 2018 addresses the problem of increased immigrates in Europe due to increased incidences of natural calamities and political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East. Relying on numerous scholarly articles, it is clear that wars and ethnic violence in the two regions have caused unprecedented wave of refugees in Europe. This has had a number of challenges to the welcoming countries such as financial constraints in order to deal with medical needs, food and academic needs of the immigrants. Key finding does show that influx of refugees in Europe has caused significant negative economic impacts in European nations especially the labor market. It is substantive recommendation that addressing surge of refuges in the region should not be single effort of the affected country. Integration of efforts by European Union countries is vital to fully address the problem. This is based on the fact that there are numerous entry points for immigrants in Europe. Pachocka, M. (2016). The OECD and the twin migration and refugee crises in Europe Pachocka, 2016 examines efforts made international stakeholders in the process of making their voice embraced on the issue of migration and the crisis of refuges in Europe. Key finding indicates that increased number of refuges pose a huge challenge to the European countries. In order to address the question in clear manner, Pachocka relies on other peer REFUGEE CRISIS 5 reviewed scholarly sources. OECD does offer a more pragmatic policy focused approach of addressing the problem of refugees in Europe. Pachocka, states that OECD has managed to identify a number of economic and demographic opportunities associated with rising surge of refuges in Europe. Therefore, it is crucial for OECD member countries to identify number of opportunities that are sustainable and do have socio-economic benefits in order to fully address the problem of increased refuge crisis in the region. It is clear that proper remedies of refuge crisis cannot be addressed by an individual country. Holmes, S.M & Castaneda, H. (2016). The 2015 Refuge Crisis in Europe Forum. Representing the “European refuge crisis’ in Germany and Beyond: Deservingness and Difference, life and death. Journal of the American Ethnological Society. The article examines the European refuge crisis that has gained global recognition. The article relies on other scholarly sources, analyzed data to justify the key finding that refuge crisis is a war of position that has potential deadly consequences to the host countries. The crisis of refuge is a multifaceted aspect that requires integration of efforts by various stakeholders. The crisis of refuge leads to the fear of cultural, religious and ethnic differences. According to the article, anthropology is one of the major determinants in the process of analyzing, highlighting various sites of contestation in order to address problem. The article emphasizes on the crucial role played by media in the process of highlighting the plight of women in society. Citing the example of the Germany, media houses do play a huge role on informing humanitarian groups in the process of raising and creating awareness in society. Refuges should be handled in a way that respects fundamental rights of life. Conclusion REFUGEE CRISIS 6 Indeed the problem refuge is a global issue. Europe has not been immune to surge of refuges due to fact that the neighboring countries are prone to ethnic wars and other forms of conflicts. Refuges do have and pose numerous challenges such as security issues and other forms of economic costs in order for welcoming countries to address the plight of immigrants. Therefore, unmatched strategies are necessary for refuges to stay a happy life. REFUGEE CRISIS 7 References Dovigo, F. (2018). Challenges and Opportunities in Education for Refugees in Europe.
