The immigration of the Algerian youth to Europe : causes and effects

Abstract EN

Every year, millions of young people in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco choose to leave their homelands to other countries seeking a better life, hoping to improve their situations, get good jobs, realize the "European Dream" of becoming documented immigrants.

The perception of Europe is so positive as if it were "Paradise".

The common point between all those immigrants is that they took major risks especially when they decide to come via the sea.

Some of them arrived while others died or drowned.

Of course, almost all of them chose to leave their mother countries almost for similar reasons, either pushed or attracted by many different factors.

Arriving in Europe, many of them succeed while others suffer from psychological disorders, jailed, fail or simply choose to return to their countries.

In this article, light will be shed on the different push and pull factors and the deep consequences of immigration on the homeland and the host country as well.
