Immigration: How much is too much?
July 29, 2015
By Al Jazeera
In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges Sir Paul Collier, the former head of Development Research at the World Bank, author of Exodus: Immigration and Multiculturalism, and professor at Oxford University, on the costs and benefits of migration.
Collier tells Hasan that he is not “advocating stopping migration” but that “too much diversity” leads to an erosion of cooperation in societies that “shows up in much lower levels of trust”.
We explore whether increased migration threatens social cohesion, and ask: Does emigration help or hurt developing countries? Are stricter border controls needed? And what about refugees?
Joining the discussion are:
- David Goodhart, author of the book The British Dream
- Philippe Legrain, economist and author of the book Immigrants: Your Country Needs Them.
- Titilola Banjoko, British-Nigerian doctor and advisor to the EU and the UN on migration issues
Immigration: How much is too much? with Sir Paul Collier will be broadcast on August 7 at 2000GMT and will be repeated on August 8 at 1200GMT; August 9 at 0100GMT; and August 10 at 0600GMT.
