  1. OxREP workshop Monday 14 April 2008. The Demographic Consequences of Immigration to Europe David Coleman, University of Oxford david.coleman@socres.ox.ac.uk http://www.apsoc.ox.ac.uk/oxpop

  2. Netherlands: foreign citizen and foreign – origin populations 1956 – 2003.Source: CBS.

  3. Migration – a heterogeneous process. Many streams, many ‘causes’, many consequences. • ‘Pull’ and ‘push’ factors; inequalities. • Population pressures. • Force, political instability and persecution. • Environmental change. • Labour demand and recruitment • Opportunities for ‘betterment’. • Chains and bridgeheads, family and marriage. • Population ageing. • Subversion, terrorism and crime. • Policies in sending and receiving countries

  4. Migration theory – rather a mess • Economists’ ‘equilibrium’ models – supply and demand for labour and capital. • Economic refinements – cost/benefit decisions; household investments; • World systems theory, Global cities; Segmented or ‘dual’ labour markets. • Networks, Cumulative causation. ‘transnational’ populations, non-economic movement. • Recent rediscovery of policy.

  5. Some components of gross immigration inflows to Western Europe (blue is family; OECD 2003)

  6. Southern Europe and its neighbours

  7. Turkey and Western Europe

  8. Long-term trends of migration to a ‘country of immigrants’

  9. Long-term trends to a ‘country of emigrants’

  10. Net foreign immigration to the EU 1960-2005.

  11. Migration can go down as well as up… (EU, Germany)

  12. Consequences of migration • Demographic change. Growth and decline, age-structure effects, depopulation. • Salvation through migration? • Economic change – who benefits? • Replacement migration. • Ethnic change

  13. UK population 2003-2051(1000s) : no decline imminent.

  14. Sweden 2004-2050: projected total population, millions, standard and zero-migration assumptions.

  15. Ethnic replacement: • Continued migration from one population, into another with sub-replacement fertility, must eventually replace one with the other. • If incoming populations have higher fertility, the process will be accelerated. • Migration, not differential fertility, dominant effect.

  16. Ethnic change in the USA, projected 1999 - 2100

  17. Probabilistic projections of the UK – average outcome for major groups (%).

  18. Comparison of results of European foreign-origin projections

  19. Conclusions • Migration now a primary driver of population change in many low TFR countries. Not Far East, some CEE. • Patterns, sources, causes and consequences highly heterogeneous • Mixed economic consequences • Can moderate, not solve ageing • Possible ‘third demographic transition’
