Burden or Boon
Contrary to the typical overtly negative picture of the impact of refugees on the host state, this article argues that refugees can also engender positive effects in the host country, especially on the economic level. This positive impact is more often than not neglected by both the host countries’ leaders and by researchers. This article will seek to address this gap by presenting a balanced analysis of the various consequences that a mass refugee influx has on a host country.
