This episode tackles a widespread question: Domigrants really take away jobs from locals — or do we simply misunderstand howthe labour market works?
Many say: «More migrants = fewer jobs fornatives.» That sounds logical at first. But a study by Anthony Edo shows:migration has no strong negative effects on employment or wages — and in manycases the effects are even positive.
The common misconception is that more peoplemeans fewer jobs. But this ignores new demand, new businesses and new economicdynamics. In reality, migration often leads to specialisation andcomplementarity — not displacement — and to economic growth.
If migration really harms the labour market —why is that so hard to prove empirically? Why do economic facts so often differfrom political debates? And who actually benefits from convincing people thatmigration is a problem?
