This report examines the equality implications of being a migrant in Britain. Its aims are to:
(a) Assess the equality and human rights implications of managed migration, in particular the points-based system (PBS).
(b) Determine the availability of statistical data on migrants to measure and evaluate inequalities and discrimination by age, disability, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation.
(c) Outline who are the new migrants by nationality, gender and socio-economic characteristics.
(d) Consider the economic impact overall and in particular sectors.
(e) Review access to and use of services, and whether migrants experience barriers or discrimination in service delivery.
