| Summary: | "High levels of immigration over the past ten years have been good for the UK economy. Both inflation and interest rates have been lower as a result, skills and labour shortages have been avoided and the economy has been kept on a stable growth path — without strong evidence of greater unemployment (including youth unemployment) or falling wages emerging. This report sets out the positive economic case for immigration and argues further managed migration is essential to sustaining economic performance." |
