‘Experiences of new immigration at the neighbourhood level’
David Robinson and Kesia Reeve
February 2006 Joseph Rowntree Foundation
Report, Survey
English
A review of evidence on the realities of daily life for new immigrants from both the European Union and outside Europe and the local consequences of their arrival and settlement. Attention is given to:
o The pattern of settlement for new arrivals.
o The management of new immigration at the neighbourhood level.
o The significance of media portrayal of immigrants on local experience.
o The lack of evidence, knowledge and understanding of new immigrants’ experience.
Bibliography of evidence on neighbourhood experiences of new immigration.
This report provides some insight into the ‘hidden experience’ of new immigrants, but highlights the need for differentiation of their socio-economic situation, ethnicity, cultural identity, country of origin and resident status.
The report links to an additional Rowntree Foundation report called ‘What's new about new immigrants in twenty-first century Britain?’ which is a comparison of immigration to the UK thirty years ago with immigration today.
