What is the impact of new migration on cohesion and integration? Will Somerville, Shamit Saggar and Robert Ford

Introduction

The government and the media regularly make the case that migration must be restricted in order to ensure community cohesion and encourage integration. To shed light on the relationship, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) recently commissioned a major report on the impacts of migration on cohesion and integration. This briefing reflects on that research, and discusses implications for policy-makers.
