The economic impact of migration in Europe

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Is immigration a drag on an economy, services and jobs - or a bonus? As the issue spurs a far-right electoral boost in the Netherlands and a political storm in the UK, what's the evidence? Also, workers in Sweden are on strike against electric car maker Tesla and why Russia is looking to help Mali build a gold refinery.
