Lodging an application, even one without any chance of being accepted, is appealing, because until it is rejected, the applicant receives basic housing, social services (including health care), and pocket money in an amount that may well exceed wages in his or her home country. Spending a few months in northern Europe while an asylum application is processed is far more attractive than going home to a job that pays a barely livable wage, or to no job at all.
提出避难申请，即使根本没有可能被接受，也颇具吸引力，因为在申请被拒绝前，申请者可以获得基本住宿、社会服务（包括医疗）和远超祖国工资水平的零花钱。在北欧呆上几个月等待避难申请处理远比回家做一份难以糊口的工作（甚至失业）更有吸引力。
