Migratory movements show us clearly how hearth is shrinking concerning distances among people. In the last decade, all the regions well placed in terms of well-being indicators and opportunities become areas of immigration. The opportunities created by economic globalization, the improvements on communication and transport, the dissemination of information about well-being regional differentiated levels, will inevitably lead to an increase in international migration volumes. The coming decades will be a mix of challenge and opportunity. For most receiving countries, in particular for aged Europe ones, with increasingly high percentages of non-European residents, the impact of such migration flows is difficult to predict in the medium and long run. Consequences will be significant at various levels.

Keywords : Migration; security; forecast analysis; regional diversity.
