This book talk is part of the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival 2024, the Oxford Martin School is the Festival Ideas Partner

Experts on globalisation and migration, Professor Ian Goldin and Professor Hein de Haas discuss migration and how it works.

Are immigrants really ‘stealing our jobs’? Is the EU facing a migration crisis? Why do people migrate at all? At a time where migration seems to be in every other newspaper headline, how much do we really know about how it works? And what are its political and economic repercussions?

This is a ticketed event and the tickets are £8 - £15. For more information and to purchase a ticket please visit this website: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/oxford-literary-festival/t-krqnndx
