How Migration Really Works

Om How Migration Really Works

An authoritative and myth-busting analysis that tells us 22 essential facts about migration -- and why we've been wrong about itGlobal migration is not at an all-time high.The climate emergency will not lead to mass migration.Border restrictions have actually produced more migration.These statements might sound like they completely contravene common intuition about migration - -but the facts behind the headlines reveal a different story to the ones we're often told. In this ground-breaking and revelatory book, based on over three decades of research, migration expert Professor Hein de Haas destroys the myths that politicians, interest groups and media regularly spread about immigration.Comparing trends and perspectives from Western 'destination countries' (UK, US and Europe) as well as 'origin countries' in Asia and Africa, de Haas will equip readers with essential knowledge on migration based on the best evidence and data, showing that:- smuggling does not cause illegal migration- anti-trafficking policies have made workers more vulnerable- immigrants aren't taking jobs away from native workers - they're actually the biggest net contributors to the welfare stateAbove all, How Migration Really Works will offer a new vision of migration based on facts rather than fears, and a paradigm-altering understanding of this perennially important subject.
