Migration, Economics and Citizenship

Migration, Economics and Citizenship

This project aimed to establish principles which should inform immigration policy in line with a shifting global economy and changing labour needs. The project had a particular focus on re-thinking the link between citizenship and the right to work.

On 21 November 2005, the RSA Migration Commission launched Migration: A Welcome Opportunity. This report is the culmination of the RSA Migration Commission's year-long discussions on migration policy. It argues that Britain's economic future depends on moving away from control-obsessed migration policy, and outlines key recommendations for moving forward.
