UK Net Zero Migration: Seven Hundred Billion Pound Economic Hit

from The Daily News Now! Business

Oxford Economics warns that a net zero migration policy could shrink the UK economy by £700 billion by 2060, a 15% hit to GDP. This is due to missed tax revenues from new workers. Current projections show steady net migration, keeping the economy growing. However, zero migration could lead to a ballooning budget deficit, dropped tax revenues, and strain on public services, potentially leading to political pressure for changes in pensions, NHS funding, and defense spending. While a larger economy from migration may not necessarily mean better living standards per person, recent population surges have shown that per-head gains remain challenging.
