The European Commission has released figures rejecting claims that migrants within Europe are draining their host countries' resources by avoiding work and claiming social benefits.
有传闻称在欧洲的移民不工作而申请社会补贴,掏空了所在国的资源,而欧洲委员会公布的数据反驳了该观点。
With the details, here's Paul Henley.
Paul Henley在这详细报道。
The commission says European migrants without work make up less than 1% of the EU's population.
该委员会称没有工作的欧洲移民占了欧洲人口的近1%。
It also says that while overall migration has increased over the last decade, the proportion of migrants without work has decreased despite big rises in unemployment rates in host countries.
它也表示尽管过去十年来总的移民人数增加了,但尽管所在国的失业率大大增加,但无业移民的比例却下降了。
Its figure suggests that most migrants not working are students, pensioners or caring for children, and that the majority share a house with at least one person in work.
它的数据显示大多数没有工作的移民是学生、领退休金的人和需要照顾的孩子,并且,大多数移民的家庭至少有一个工作者。
The report's conclusion is that inter-EU migrants pay significantly more in taxes than they get in benefits and services.
