International Migrants in Rural Areas: Communities, Impacts and Issues

Date and time:: Tuesday, 7th October 2008 at 10:00am
Location:: St Martin-in-the-Fields Hall, Trafalgar Square, London

We're supporting this ippr event presenting new research on migration into rural areas. Our Chief Executive, Graham Garbutt, will be making the closing remarks to bring the event to a close.

During the past ten years, increasing proportions of new migrants to the UK have settled in rural areas, where many are employed in agriculture, food processing and the hospitality sector.

'International Migrants in Rural Areas: Communities, Impacts and Issues' will:

present new research on the impact of migration on public services in rural areas
examine ways in which public services might become more responsive to migrants
present new research on the risk to rural economies caused by changing migration flows, and look at how these risks can be managed.
