Communicating Economic Evidence About Immigration Changes Attitudes and Policy Preferences
Existing studies demonstrate that threat perceptions matter for immigration attitudes. However, while these perceptions are potentially sensitive to information about immigrants’ impacts, questions remain about whether inserting such information into public debates changes attitudes and policy preferences—especially on polarizing issues like immigration. Moreover, few studies have considered messages featuring the type of nonphotorealistic visual…
It's all about the Flex
In the last ten years, EU migrants have come to play an important role in the UK labour force. They have become increasingly present in low-skilled occupations, where the largest proportional increase has been migration from Eastern and Central European countries. Drawing on research carried out between November 2015 and July 2016 on the employment of EU migrants in the sectors of hospitality, food and drink and construction, we find that EU migr…

The paper presents findings from research aimed at identifying effective approaches to the recruitment and retention of child care workers, conducted to assist the UK Government's Childcare Strategy. The paper explores the practices and views of child care employers, Early Years Development and Childcare Partnerships (EYDCPs) and child care workers in a range of settings (including day nurseries, playgroups and out-of-school care). Two key issues…
Students' Demands and Expectations in an Age of Reduced Financial Support

In the name of progress? skill and attitudes towards technological change
This article uses case study data to explore the relationship between skill and workers’attitudes to technological change. A detailed model of skill is constructed to examine whether and how jobs are deskilled. The influence of a range of skill‐based and other factors on attitudes is then assessed
Skill, deskilling and new technology in the non‐manual labour process
This article discusses the concept of skill and, using material from case studies on non‐manual work, suggests that the microelectronic technology may have implications for work and skills that in each case will depend on a combination of social and technological factors
