在经济强劲增长期间，移民一直是填补劳动力市场空白的重要因素。总的来说，英国劳动力市场的证据表明，对总体移民（尤其是欧盟移民）增加的不利后果的担忧，平均而言仍未成为现实。平均而言，很难找到英国工人大量失业或工资下降的证据。移民，尤其是近年来，往往比英国出生的人更年轻，受教育程度更高，失业的可能性也更小。未来的移民趋势将一如既往地取决于相对的经济表现和机会。但我们仍然需要更多地了解移民增加对劳动力市场以外的其他领域的影响，如价格、健康、犯罪和福利。
During periods of strong economic growth, migration is and has always been important for filling gaps in the labour market. On balance, the evidence for the UK labour market suggests that fears about adverse consequences of rising immigration in general and EU immigration in particular have still not, on average, materialised. It is hard to find evidence of much displacement of UK workers or lower wages, on average. Immigrants, especially in recent years, tend to be younger and better educated than the UK-born and less likely to be unemployed. Future migration trends will, as ever, depend on relative economic performance and opportunity. But we still need to know more about the effects of rising immigration beyond the labour market in such areas as prices, health, crime and welfare.
