Economics of Migration

On Wednesday evening all Sixth Form Economists and Geographers were treated to an insightful talk on the “Economics of Immigration” presented by Daniel Pryor; the Head of Research at the Adam Smith Institute. Known to be one of the world’s leading Think Tanks, pioneering to solve numerous problems such as the cost-of-living crisis, homelessness and environmental concerns to name but a few. Daniel’s talk covered topics ranging from, Immigrants effects on wage rates through the forces of supply and demand of labour, Potential costs to the economy of immigration and the Fiscal impacts of migrants in a country. Daniel also discussed other influxes of people into the labour market, due to the increased role of women. After the presentation Daniel offered detailed answers to a host of questions from pupils, we look forward to hosting Daniel in the future. Thank you, Daniel!
