Analysis of the state of Iranian migration to the countries of Western and Northern Europe
Abstract
Given the current conditions of the world economy, the concept of migration is becoming increasingly more important. In connection with the topicality of the subject of migration, the authors decided to examine it on the example of Iran and its economic and socio-political ties with the countries of Western and Northern Europe. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the relationship of Iranian remittances to mutual foreign trade through an analysis of the state of Iranian migration in the countries of Western and Northern Europe. The results were subsequently graphically interpreted through a bubble dis- plays and cartogram and suggest that the strongest European partner in the field of migration is Germany, which has long been associated with Iranian and Shiite culture. The results of the research can be applicated in economic and socio-political area of research and practice.
