Question 5
Based on the table, you can see that many countries joined the EU at a much lower level of economic development when compared to France, Germany, and the UK. Two possible geographic trends discussed in previous chapters could result from these differences. Describe how manufacturing jobs could shift location and which migration flows could occur. Based on the maps and data, give examples of which countries they could have potentially left and which countries they could have potentially moved to.

One goal of European integration is to reduce national disparities in economic development by strengthening the economies of members. Based on columns C and E, describe how new EU members’ economies changed in relation to those of Germany, France, and the UK.
Question 7
The European Union directs funds to poorer cities and regions to improve employment, education, and infrastructure. Based on the EU Members and GDP Per Capita in 2016 layer, which countries probably pay more into these funds, and which probably receive more from these funds? Describe how this could lead to political pushback from the countries that pay more.
