IN SHORT: MIGRATION

  • Migration is often seen as a threat to our welfare state.
  • There’s this idea that asylum migration is getting particularly out of hand.
  • Migration, however, isn’t dominated by one group or motivation.
  • War and conflict aren’t the driving forces behind migration to our country they’re often made out to be.
  • Demand for labour is an important driving force behind the increasing migration.
