Neighbourhood Economic Models<\/em>\u00a0concludes that migration rates, along with the social class mix and equality of opportunity for local people, can help generate jobs and opportunities in areas where there is too little of both.<\/p>\nGenevieve Maitland Hudson, Head of Evaluation and Impact Assessment at Power to Change, said:
\n\u201cThis research can help us answer questions which have long dogged government, about making sure local economies really thrive<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cIf we follow the evidence we can see that entrepreneurial ideas are more likely to emerge in places where migrants have chosen to settle, and where there are already skilled people and a sense of opportunity. These start-up businesses have the potential to help generate local jobs and create income for that community. We need to think hard about how to sustain that entrepreneurial buzz and maintain a healthier local economy<\/em>.\u201d
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nNeil Reeder, author of the report and Director of Head and Heart Economics, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cEnterprise is at its strongest when there is co-operation in the community. Help and advice from those nearby when their business is fragile and under pressure, and openness to ideas and inspiration from around the world <\/em>generate local jobs.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe Brexit vote, and reactions to that vote, have shown that neither aspect of co-operation can be taken for granted.\u00a0 But the recent opinion polls show views can change. There is a huge amount to do, not least in devising and implementing new ways for enterprises of all sizes to access global relationships and insights.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
