Introduction to the topic
 The immigration affects the economy of UK negatively and positively
both. The government of UK has taken various initiatives to control the
migration to UK when it benefits the exchequer and economy both.
 The main aim of this report will help in yielding important macroeconomic
benefits to the country as well as its positive influence will be greatly
highlighted.

Background to the problem
 The objective behind promoting migration in UK is not only to gain the
economical benefits but to achieve many other goals.
 This can contribute positively to UK by the work and the study. The
government of UK has invested a lot to ensure that the communities are
facilitated by all the resources they need so that they can easily adapt to the
changes they encounter.

Summary of the literature
 The determinant of success can be the GDP per capita growth. After the
immigration in UK, the country faced a rapid growth regarding the GDP as
compared to all other countries.
 This is how migration contributed by decreasing the inflationary pressure
in the labour market of UK. This also led to innovation as the existing
workers got the opportunities to interact and exchange ideas with the
immigrant workers.

 The migrants had also contributed positively to the economic growth of
UK as they have not displaced the existing workers also. This also
benefitted the organisations as it became very easy to fill the job vacancies
with the required skills and talents.
 On the other hand, it can be examined that immigration along would not
help in solving the challenges which are long term abs also the challenges
which are faced regarding the pension provision

 The migration could also help in the trade and investment flows by making
the networks of social and business internationally stronger.
 The costs of the trading and investing will be lowered resulting in the
improvement in the information quality which is transmitted across the
borders.

 The negative impacts of the immigration in UK were not many but it
affected the low skilled workers negatively in some way or the other.
 This can be said that the immigration also impacted the average wage
levels by harming the earnings of the UK born members who are poorly
paid within the labour force along with the people in the semi-unskilled
people in the service sector.

 The government of UK strives hard to ensure that all the people take advantage
of the opportunities which are available in the country because in order to gain
more competitive advantages as compared to other countries, it is must to up
skill the native workforce.
 For this, the government made many policies for providing clear of progression
in terms of skills, advice and guidance, improvements in the information and
providing extra financial support to the people at the low skill levels.

aspects of the research question were answered by evaluating the
source.
 The sources which were analysed did not contain any false
