and their perceived contributions to the UK : A case study of Liverpool

Scullion, LC; Pemberton, S

Abstract

This report presents the findings of research focusing on the experiences of migrant
workers. In particular it explores what motivates people to come to the UK, what
affects people’s decisions to stay or leave, and how these change over time, as well
as looking at what migrants perceive their contribution to be to the UK. The research
was commissioned by Migrant Workers North West in May 2009 and conducted by
researchers from the Salford Housing & Urban Studies Unit (SHUSU) at the
University of Salford and Merseyside Social Inclusion Observatory (MSIO) at the
University of Liverpool. The research was greatly aided by a researcher from the
Slovak community.
