• Migration brings wealth creation rather than job competition
• Host population has a positive, rather than negative attitude

Question 7

Host population has a positive, rather than negative attitude

Answer 7

Discrimination / racist attitudes can persist – creating tension / aggression, e.g. Jewish Eruvim, whilst others celebrate assimilation of cultures and schools and community groups help build understanding (e.g. Aik Saath in Slough).

Question 8

Migration brings wealth creation rather than job competition

Answer 8

Wealthy migrants (e.g. Russian Oligarchs) invest in housing / prices rise – this can cause resentment, but also trickle down, e.g. London’s 2-tier economy
In other areas, migrants take jobs and create poverty / deprivation / resentment

Question 9

An experience of ‘Invasion/Succession’ rather than ‘filtering’

Answer 9

• Some areas have been directed to take migrants who are forced to relocate there, e.g. Syrians to Milton Keynes – creating high levels of tension
• In some places, ‘white flight’ has occurred – the perception of tension might therefore not be there, e.g. Slough

Question 10

It’s an urban, rather than rural area?

Answer 10

• Towns/Cities: pre-existing high numbers of in-migrants creates support, safety but also tension? (e.g. Dewsbury, E of Huddersfield)
• Remote rural areas (e.g. N Antrim) have few in-migrants, and communities experience little change (but in-migration will be more noticeable, e.g. Evesham)
