摘要：This paper provides a critical review of the economic costs and benefits involved in the
international migration of labour. It commences with an examination of recent trends in
migration. It then addresses the demographic argument for immigration and then turns to
the more substantive economic analysis. Focusing on the „indigenous population‟ it
considers the benefits to consumers and employers, the economic contribution of skill
complementarity and the macroeconomic benefits of migration in reducing inflationary
pressures.
It then examines the potentially adverse economic impact upon competing labour
and then considers the impact upon public finances. The limitations of the estimated
effects is emphasised; in particular their failure to account for the impact upon social
capital.
Although some broad criteria can be established for maximising the benefits to the
indigenous population of immigration it emphasises the difficulty of establishing robust
empirical estimates and the judgments involved in defining both the „indigenous
populations‟ and the appropriate timeframe. .
