Delve into “The Economics of Migration” with labour economist Christian Dustmann and students Rahul Aggarwal, Tamila Shvyryda, and Albert Wallgren in this insightful video.
The video sheds light on the complex dynamics where low-educated natives may perceive immigrants as competitors, emphasising that socio-cultural concerns often play a more substantial role in shaping attitudes and immigration policies than purely economic factors. This crucial insight challenges prevalent political rhetoric surrounding anti-immigrant sentiments and underscores the importance of understanding the multifaceted aspects of migration in the broader economic landscape. Don't miss this thought-provoking exploration into the intricate relationship between economics and migration.
About Nobel Week Dialogue 2023: From our earliest beginnings, humanity has been on the move. Migration is our past, one of our present’s burning issues and, like it or not, it will be a defining feature of our future.
Time and again, our society has been shaped and reshaped by migrations. Everything suggests that the factors driving people to seek a new life elsewhere will only multiply. Whether forced by starvation or war, by our changing climate, or by the simple human desire to seek a better life elsewhere in the face of inequality, we humans will always be migrants.
Nobel Week Dialogue 2023 brought people together from across the spectrum of science, society and culture to explore the future of migration and how to approach that future. How we think about migration is one of the most pressing and important conversations we can have.
Delving into humanity’s intermingled origins, we asked what the past can tell us about what will come. Surveying the current picture of human resettlement, we discussed how the world is responding. Looking ahead, we investigate what steps we should take to assist and prepare.
