answer text <p> </p><p>The Government commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to &quot;research <br>the labour market, social and public service impacts of non-EEA migration; and <br>to advise on the use of such evidence in cost-benefit analyses of migration <br>policy decisions&quot;. The MAC's report published in 2012 called ‘Analysis of the <br>Impact of Migration' <br>(https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/25723<br>5/analysis-of-the-impacts.pdf), suggested that &quot;between 1995 and 2010 an <br>additional 100 non-EU migrants were associated with a reduction in employment <br>of 23 native workers&quot;.<br><br>Recently, the Government published a report on the ‘Impacts of migration on UK <br>native employment: An analytical review of the evidence' <br>(https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/28708<br>6/occ109.pdf). This report is a comprehensive review of the evidence around <br>the displacement effect of migrants on UK native employment and builds on the <br>MAC 2012 report.<br><br>In addition, a report on the ‘Employment and Occupational skill levels among UK <br>and foreign nationals' <br>(https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/28250<br>3/occ108.pdf) finds that over most of the last decade, employment levels in the <br>UK rose faster among foreign nationals than among UK nationals. However, this <br>pattern has reversed, and over the last year around 90 per cent of employment <br>growth was accounted for by UK nationals.</p><p> </p>

This will look at lessons from previous campaigns as well as exploring new and potentially more cost efficient ways of generating public awareness about voter registration, including how best to support the work of other organisations. Rigorous targets will be set to reflect the objectives of the campaign and the fact that it will be possible to register online for the first time in Great Britain.</p><p> </p> more like this
