On The Move: Labour Migration in Times of Recession. A report
Janet Dobson, Alan Latham John Salt
2009 London
Report, Survey
English
This paper focuses on labour migration and compares previous economic downturns with the current recession. It analyses the effect of ‘buffer theory’, i.e. the expectation of an increase in outward and decrease in inward migration of foreign workers in times of recession. The paper concludes that a fall in numbers of inward migrants is associated with a recession. However, it is not the case that outward migrant numbers increase at such times. There are graphs showing both British and non-British inward and outward flows and net migration from 1960’s and 1970’s to 2007.
A really up to date analysis which acknowledges the paucity of current data available.
