The Impact of Asylum Seekers on the Glasgow Economy

The key aim of this study is to investigate how asylum seekers may impact on the local economy. Specifically, it looks at the situation in Glasgow and examines how payments made to and on behalf of asylum seekers support economic activity in the local area. However, it is also clear that asylum seekers may also be of interest in the context of a longer-term economic issue that has recently caused some concern, the problem of an expected decline in the Scottish population. The study therefore also examines, albeit in a more tentative fashion, the issue of asylum seekers against the background of the Scottish Executive's "Fresh Talent" population initiative.
