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. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xEconomic aspects$vCongresses 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xHistory 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xHistory. 676 $a330.9 701 $aBorjas$b George J$0124108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820552503321 996 $aIssues in the economics of immigration$94066875 997 $aUNINA
