The way they produce goods

It’s for this reason that I’m using UK Data Service data in my PhD to study alternative explanations of how the labour market responds to immigration, if not through wages and employment. In particular, I study three mechanisms that academic research has found to be important:
Occupational specialisation: native workers don’t stay canada rcs data in their jobs, but instead they move into those jobs which benefit from immigrant inflows.
Capital investment: firms will change or services following immigration, including changing the amount of capital (machinery and equipment) they use.
Offshoring: if the labour firms require isn’t available in the domestic economy, then they may simply move overseas to the workers instead.
Where did the idea for the competition come from?
Given this gap between the public and academic conversations around immigration, I wanted to find a way to bridge the divide between the two. This is something that’s incredibly important for academia to do: research shouldn’t just exist within a bubble, but should be able to inform and influence public and political debates.
