Migration has become a central issue in a heated political and
media debate in Britain and throughout Europe. But the issues have
often become confused and mythologised. This report seeks to
contribute to a more mature public debate - and to more effective
and just policy responses - through an in-depth study of the forces
driving migration, and the strategies which seek to govern
it."Exploding the Migration Myths" draws upon a year-long Fabian
Society and Oxfam joint research project into the causes and
consequences of migration. It looks in detail at the experience of
migrants from Albania, the poorest country in Europe, their
experience in the UK, and the impact on their home country, from
remittances to the loss of human capital. By speaking to migrants
themselves, whose voices are usually missing from this debate, the
report identifies the real reasons behind migration and what drives
those who undertake it. The report seeks a more holistic approach,
linking development policy with domestic policies on entry and
integration.The report makes a number of policy recommendations,
arguing that the choice between allowing or stopping migration is a
false one. Migration is a fact, which is affecting all countries in
the developed and developing worlds. The real choices are in how we
govern migration. "Exploding the Migration Myths" argues that
either we create paths to legal migration, for unskilled as well as
skilled workers, or migration will remain illegal, often controlled
by transnational criminal gangs. As the report shows, migration can
potentially benefit both the host societies and countries of
origin. But an approach that seeks to maximise the benefits and to
control the costs of migration depends centrally on how we choose
to govern it.Accessible and though-provoking, "Exploding the
Migration Myths" will be an invaluable resource for policy makers,
researchers, and the general reader with an interest in migration
and development.
