The article discusses the author's claim that an influx of refugees into Europe in 2015 could help to improve the region's economy by increasing the global gross domestic product (GDP) rate over the course of 25 years, and it mentions the potential impacts of the refugee migration on European culture and the dependency ration in Europe. Long-term economic growth is addressed in relation to nations such as Germany and Greece. The costs associated with shelter and job training are examined.
