While migration will almost certainly remain an issue of national consideration, it is increasingly clear that addressing the opportunities and challenges it poses is likely to require regional action. This report examines the experience of migration in the North East of England and how policy interventions might help the region better harness its potential to facilitate economic growth. It incorporates fresh data on the scale of migration and observations on its impacts in the region.
