In her book “Blaming Immigrants: Nationalism and the Economics of Global Movement” economist Dr. Neeraj Kaushal, professor of social policy at Columbia School of Social Work and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, investigates the rising anxiety in host countries and tests common complaints against immigration. Do immigrants replace host country workers or create new jobs? Are they a net gain or a net drag on host countries? In this important work, Dr. Kaushal delves into the demographics of immigrants worldwide, the economic tides that carry them, and the policies that shape where they make their new homes. Join us for a conversation about the critical role that immigrants play in the global economy in this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI.
