The situation of immigrant children in rich countries
The situation of children in immigrant families living in the UK
Research into the situation of immigrant children living in the UK undertaken by Professor Heaven Crawley, Director of Swansea University's Centre for Migration Policy Research, has been published by UNICEF's Innocenti Research Centre in Florence, Italy. The study provides the first in-depth analysis of the circumstances of first and second generation children using the 2001 Census data. The report has been published as part of a series of working papers alongside a comparative study entitled Children in Immigrant Families in Eight Affluent Countries: their family, national and international context, which includes the findings of the UK case study and research from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States.

Professor Crawley met recently with officials from the UK Border Agency and Department for Children, Schools and Families to discuss the implications of the research for future research and policy development.
