Migration Strains Welfare State and Worsens Wage Inequality, Study Finds
Migration can bring benefits to both migrants and locals, but when the job market isn't working well, it can cause problems for native workers. This can lead to losses for locals. Also, the welfare state can struggle to support migrants, making it more expensive to run programs. To make migration work better, we may need to improve job markets and be more careful about who gets welfare benefits.
