The Institute for Public Policy Research's (IPPR) Economics of Migration project has released it's first working paper. The project aims to improve understanding of the economic impacts of migration in the UK, and how policy should respond to that migration in order to maximise its economic benefits, and minimise its costs. The paper underlines the importance of looking at migration’s longer-term impacts in local areas, as well as its short-term effects.
