The Impact of Asylum Seekers on the Glasgow Economy
The key aim of this study is to investigate how asylum seekers may impact on the local economy. Specifically, it looks at the situation in Glasgow and examines how payments made to and on behalf of asylum seekers support economic activity in the local area. However, it is also clear that asylum seekers may also be of interest in the context of a longer-term economic issue that has recently caused some concern, the problem of an expected decline in the Scottish population. The study therefore also examines, albeit in a more tentative fashion, the issue of asylum seekers against the background of the Scottish Executive's "Fresh Talent" population initiative.

The Economic Impact of Immigration Volume 1
Immigration, faith and cohesion
Foundation, looks at what factors contribute to, or undermine, community cohesion. It focuses upon three urban areas in England with large migrant and Muslim populations (Newham, Birmingham and Bradford). The report examines the significance of different dimensions of cohesion – including social interaction, participation and belonging – on the lives of Muslims and people of other faiths or of no faith, both recent arrivals and established residents. The report suggests that feeling unwelcome and discrimination reduces migrants’ sense of belonging, rather than an attachment to their country of origin. Some success at integration is attributed to existing Muslim communities who facilitate new arrivals’ integration into wider British society.
