Does it reduce job opportunities for those born in the UK? And what impact does it have on the NHS and other public services? Portes then proposes what we should do about immigration, defining what a post-Brexit system should look like, and outlining what, if anything, we should do to promote integration further. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Written by leading social scientists, the \u003cstrong\u003eWhat Do We Know and What Should We Do About...? \u003c\/strong\u003eseries offers concise, up-to-date overviews of issues often oversimplified, misrepresented or misunderstood and shows you how to enact change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\"If you want to learn a lot about what matters most, in as short a time as possible, this is the series for you.\"- \u003c\/strong\u003eDanny Dorling, 1971 Professor of Geography, University of Oxford\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Portes \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Kings College London, and Past Chief Economist for the Department for Work and Pensions (2002 to 2008) and the Cabinet Office (2008 to 2011).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.4 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377555902701,"sku":"9781526464415","price":134.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/piSWSwE6CL9781526464415.webp?v=1785610765","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/what-do-we-know-and-what-should-we-do-about-immigration-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
