How migration really works : a factful guide to the most divisive issue in politics

Haas, Hein de, 1969-2023
Book
Here is an authoritative analysis that busts 22 deep-rooted myths about migration - and sets out a new way to think about it. Global migration is not at an all-time high. Climate change will not lead to mass migration. Immigration mainly benefits the wealthy, not workers. Border restrictions have paradoxically produced more migration. These statements might sound counter-intuitive or just outright wrong - but the facts behind the headlines reveal a completely different story to the ones we're told about migration. In this revelatory book, based on more than three decades of research, leading expert Professor Hein de Haas explodes myths espoused by both left and right that politicians, interest groups and media regularly spread about migration.
