2023 EUSA Book Award - Honorable Mention Current migration policy is based on a seemingly neutral accounting exercise, in which migrants contribute less in tax than they receive in welfare assistance. A “fact” that justifies increasingly restrictive asylum policies. Peo Hansen shows that this consensual cost-perspective on migration is built on a flawed economic conception of the orthodox “sound finance” doctrine prevalent in migration research and policy. By examining migration through the macroeconomic lens offered by modern monetary theory, Hansen is able to demonstrate sound finance’s detrimental impact on migration policy and research, including its role in stoking the toxic debate on migration in the European Union. More importantly, Hansen’s undertaking offers the tools with which both migration research and migration policy could be modernized and put on a realistic footing.

How does the EU square the seemingly contradictory objectives of bringing about less migration – its current approach to the refugee crisis – and more migration, which is its current response to the Union’s demographic deficit? Peo Hansen explores how this might be resolved.

1. Migration: "mother of all problems" 2. The fiscal impact of migration 3. A modern migration theory 4. Demography, security and the shifting conjunctures of the EU’s external labour migration policy 5. Labour migration in a sound finance policy logic 6. Why EU asylum policy cannot afford to pay demographic dividends 7. "We need these people": refugee spending, fiscal impact and refugees' real bearing on Sweden’s society and economy 8. Conclusion
Les mer
A timely book on the supposed trade-off between migration and the sustainability of the welfare state. Hansen’s skilful debunking of the 'sound finance' view demonstrates that there is no 'fiscal burden' when it comes to migration. Migrants are an essential part of the workforce and contribute to the economy. Hansen successfully rewires our thinking about migration and the economy. I highly recommend this superb book.
