Fact Check: will UK living wage cause rampant EU migration?

European migrants tend to be younger and better educated than UK native workers. This suggests they might not benefit from the increased minimum wage, and that migration may actually be good for the UK economy, as it boosts productivity. Indeed recent research shows that EU immigration has not had significantly adverse effects on employment, wages, inequality or public services for people born in the UK.
