When highly skilled immigrants move in, natives move out
In the first study to measure the temporary impact of highly skilled immigrants on native populations, University of Notre Dame Economist Abigail Wozniak and Fairfield University's Thomas J. Murray -- a former Notre Dame graduate student -- found that when highly skilled immigrants move to a city or town, the US natives in that area who are also highly skilled tend to move away.
In the wake of attacks against Indian students, Australian government is planning to make changes in its skilled migration programme that would delink permanent residency with trade occupations such as hair dressing and cookery.
