Roundtable: Do the benefits of taking refugees outweigh the costs?
Refugees and migrants arrive in countries seeking new lives - how easy is it for them to get jobs? And what impact do they have on local economies?
Starting again in a new country - sometimes in a new language. Getting a job is an important part of the process. How can an influx of refugees and migrants change a labour force and indeed an economy? For better or worse, or both?
At the Roundtable was Jonathan Portes, a Professor of Economics and Public Policy at King's College London; Zubaida Haque, a research associate and consultant at the Runnymede Trust - an independent race equality think tank; and Phoebe Griffith, Associate Director for Migration, Integration and Communities at the Institute for Public Policy Research - which describes itself as a progressive policy think tank.
Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
