Migration Policy Scotland

A home for informed responses to migration, its opportunities and challenges

Migration shapes the society that we live in, the economy we rely on, and the cultures we share.

At Migration Policy Scotland:

  • We focus on migration issues that are particularly important in Scotland.
  • We prioritise clarity over controversy, bringing people together to find better ways forward.
  • We foster insight and dialogue on migration to improve all our futures though better migration outcomes.
  • We believe well-managed migration enables migrants to flourish and enriches communities experiencing migration.
