The debate over immigration policy has typically focused on three fundamental questions: How do immigrants perform economically relative to others? What effects do immigrants have on the employment opportunities of other workers? What kind of immigration policy is most beneficial to the host country? This authoritative volume represents a move beyond purely descriptive assessments of labor market consequences toward a more fully developed analysis of economic impacts across the social spectrum. Exploring the broader repercussions of immigration on education, welfare, Social Security, and crime, as well as the labor market, these papers assess dimensions not yet taken into account by traditional cost-benefit calculations. This collection offers new insights into the kinds of economic opportunities and outcomes that immigrant populations might expect for themselves and future generations.Conference report (National Bureau of Economic Research)Emigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsCongressesEmigration and immigrationHistoryEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsEmigration and immigrationHistory.330.9Borjas George J124108MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820552503321Issues in the economics of immigration4066875UNINA
