Migrant movement patterns changing


Just a short ramble and a link today.

The recession has made a marked difference to the movement of migrants, not only in the UK but worldwide.

It seems that Many economic migrants from central and eastern Europe who came to work in the UK are returning home because of the recession, a report suggests.

The global Migration Policy Institute (MPI) study, commissioned by the BBC, says EU expansion led to 1.4m east Europeans moving to the UK up to 2008.

But the recession in Britain and modest economic growth in Poland have led to a change in this pattern, it found.

The MPI report suggests about half of those migrants have now left.

The link to the info from the BBC is here, have a look and click on the various tabs, interesting.
