Migration, Economics and Integration

Migration is a contentious political issue in many countries. People who don't like 'mass migration' often say it's bad for the economy, while other people say migrants make everyone richer.

We'll try to sort out the evidence, studying the effects on the migrants and on both the sending and receiving countries. We'll also look, from an economic perspective, at the reality and speed of migrant integration. There will be time to talk about the special situations of asylum-seekers and highly skilled migrants. And there will be ample time to discuss the complex issues of justice.

Expect lively but respectful debates – and come out of the class with a clearer understanding of the facts and arguments about an especially controversial issue.
