Scotland encouraging immigration. [90]
So, to get back on topic,,,,Scotland needs migrants to fuel an economic recovery.
Demographics suggest that with an ageing population, Scotland needs to attract workers to earn the revenue which will fund the social infrastructure.
Interesting that there is a thread about Polands shrinking population too as Polish migrants were credited with fuelling a boost in the Scottish birth rate ( first time in around 150 yrs ).
It could be deduced that the increase in the birth rate suggests an....ahem.... willingness to accept migrants.
