Migration

Latvia has a population of 2.29 million, a -0.69 population growth rate and a migration of -2.24 migrants per 1,000 inhabitants. Migration of qualified workers is expected to continue until Latvia can bring wages, social benefits and working conditions up to EU standards. Although GDP continues grow (10% last year) the diminishing labour force is putting pressure on business and government to address the controversial issue of accepting foreign workers to fill the labour gaps.

Although Latvia has only 35, 865 'foreigners' (neither citizens nor permanent residents) living in the country, over 1 million of its inhabitants, or 43%, are non-Latvians, many from the former Soviet republics. The large number of non-Latvian residents that resulted from the Soviet occupation remains a sensitive political issue which prevents politicians from addressing the labour shortage through the recruitment of foreign workers.

General information

Situated in north-eastern Europe with a coastline along the Baltic Sea, Latvia is geographically the middle of the three former Soviet Baltic Republics.

Not much more than a decade after the collapse of the USSR, following its declaration of independence Latvia joined NATO. Just weeks later it was welcomed as a member of the EU in May 2004.

During the Soviet period, which ended in 1991, Latvia underwent heavy industrialisation, and experienced a big influx of immigrants from other parts of the USSR.

Like its Baltic neighbours, in the 10 years since independence Latvia has made a rapid transformation to embrace the free market
