英国已成为欧洲限制主义的主要支持者，并致力于制定将寻求庇护者排除在主流社会之外的政策。分散政策的重点是将寻求庇护者送往住房过剩的城市地区。本文讨论了这种方法对英国分散地区的经济繁荣和社会凝聚力的潜在影响，并特别关注在NASS分散计划下抵达的新移民。它表明，虽然新抵达的寻求庇护者和难民（ASRs）既有技能又有资格，但他们目前正经历着高水平的失业率，而那些有工作的人则从事低技能工作，收入远低于平均水平。论文认为，asr目前经历的高失业率和就业不足可能会使他们被排除在分散地区的社会之外，从而加剧了这些地区的社会排斥程度。有人认为，如果采取措施帮助贫困地区获得与其技能和资格相称的工作，asr可以为他们提供新的机会。
The UK has become a leading proponent of European restrictionalism and has focused its efforts on developing policy that excludes asylum seekers from mainstream society. Dispersal policy has focused upon sending asylum seekers to excluded urban areas where there is an excess of available housing. This paper discusses the potential impacts of this approach on the economic prosperity and social cohesion of UK dispersal areas and focuses specifically on new migrants who arrived under the NASS dispersal programme. It demonstrates that, whilst newly arrived asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs) have both skills and qualifications, they are currently experiencing high levels of unemployment and those who are employed are working in low-skilled jobs with earnings far below the average. The paper contends that the high levels of unemployment and underemployment currently experienced by ASRs may serve to exclude them from society in dispersal areas and in so doing exacerbate the general levels of social exclusion in those areas. It is argued that ASRs could offer new opportunities for deprived areas if initiatives were introduced to help them access work commensurate with their skills and qualifications.
