<p> </p><p>The Government commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to "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". 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 "between 1995 and 2010 an <br>additional 100 non-EU migrants were
associated with a reduction in employment <br>of 23 native workers".<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>
