WE SOUGHT OUT WORLD WIDE EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS FOR THE THIRD
WORLD COUNTRIES
One of the most frequent arguments
against immigration is that it leads to unemployment. But in principle there is no reason why this should happen. After all,
immigrants are consumers as well as workers, so their arrival will also create new jobs to meet the demand they create. Certainly
some people will have to change jobs, often getting better ones, but the country as a whole will often be better off. However,
immigration may lead to a temporary increase in inequality.
The belief that immigrants reduce employment for native
workers often assumes that the number of jobs in any country is fixed and that the arrival of more people will somehow dilute
the available number of jobs. This is obviously false. If the population goes up, this creates more consumers whose needs
have to be met, and this creates more jobs. Indeed, even before immigrants have found work for themselves they will be creating
work for other people, who will be employed growing and distributing the food that immigrants eat, building the houses they
live in, and driving the buses they ride on as they search for work. These extra jobs may not be as obvious as those, which
immigrants themselves do, but they are nevertheless created.
The argument that immigrants are displacing native workers also
assumes they are competing for the same jobs. But very often this is not the case. Immigrant workers commonly take jobs, which
native workers shun because they offer low pay or low status - harvesting crops, washing dishes in restaurants, or working
in low-wage manufacturing. One sector that has long relied on immigrant labour is construction. Rising levels of education
in south-east Asia, for example, make local people unwilling to as builders. South Korea has struggled to keep out immigrant workers,
but in 1996 the Ministry of Construction and Transportation conceded that it would have to import more foreign labour to build
the country's first high-speed railway line.
Moreover the range of jobs that nationals reject seems to be widening.
Taxi driving in the US, for example, used to attract native white and black workers.
Nowadays, it is an 'immigrant job'. In Washington, DC, the Taxi Operator's Association estimates that
over the last 25 years the proportion of drivers who are foreign born has raised from 25% to 85%.
Bringing people in to do such work can actually increase
employment for the native population. The clearest example is domestic service, where employing a low-skilled person as a
nanny can often release a woman to a high-level professional job. Millions of women want to, or have to, work outside the
home but can only do so with the support of immigrant workers.
The neutral or beneficial effect of immigration would seem to
be confirmed by unemployment data. Countries that have had relatively high immigration in recent years - Australia, Canada,
Israel, Hong Kong and the United States - have not had unusually high levels of unemployment during periods of peak immigration.
In Australia, for example, the overseas-born make up more than 20% of the
total population and there has been extensive research on the economic impact. This has concluded that migrants have created
at least as many jobs as they have occupied. A similar conclusion has been reached in Canada where 16% of the population
is foreign born. A report from the Economic Council of Canada concluded that a steady
level of immigration does not cause any unemployment, mainly because the number of firms expands to create new jobs.
This is not to say, however, that some groups of workers will
not lose out as a result of immigration. The latest research from the United States suggests that, while
the country as a whole is better off, those at the bottom of the employment ladder, and particularly the previous group of
immigrants, may in the short-term face higher unemployment or lower wages.
