Description:

In recent months, the debate over foreign workers in the UK has become more heated. While the government argues that more foreign workers will raise growth, protectionists insist that foreign workers are robbing British citizens of jobs. A different question is also asked: how can Africa develop if the brightest and best are leaving? The debate runs a serious risk of trivialising what is a complex set of issues. [from author]
