Migration and Population Issues

Migration is a controversial issue which provokes a wide range of views. Some people believe there are too many immigrants coming to the UK, whilst others believe migrants are having a positive effect on our economy. As the world population continues to grow there are also growing fears about sustainability. This book looks at the debates surrounding migration and population. The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter is a page of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter.
