COMMENTS ON THIS DOCUMENT:

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.
