- People have been migrating for work and better life and social environment for years. Nowadays migration is taking on newer dimensions.
We are especially speaking of economic migrants as well as about people from so called third countries, in which living conditions have worsened due to
impact of climate changes and worse social conditions caused by higher unemployment as well as unstable political affairs and wars. In the paper we define
migration, state its causes, negatives and positives. In the main part of the paper we examine how the number of migrants in Slovakia has changed lately
and from which countries they come from. We found out that ratio of foreigners living in Slovakia has been changing. A couple of years ago people from
European countries prevailed in Slovakia in comparison with people from so called third countries, now the ratio is becoming equal.
