After releasing estimates of how many migrants from Romania and Bulgaria would reach our shores, Migration Watch has looked into the economic incentives behind their potential move.
"Bulgarian and Romanian migrants would be nearly nine times better off if they move to Britain when access restrictions are lifted at the end of the year, a study revealed yesterday."

"Romanian families migrating to Britain next year could be almost eight times better off here working for the minimum wage, a study revealed yesterday. Similar families from Bulgaria could increase their living standards nearly ninefold, according to the report."

"IMMIGRANTS from Romania and Bulgaria would be five times better off if they moved to Britain."

A study published yesterday by Migration Watch highlights the economic incentives for Romanian and Bulgarian migration to the United Kingdom. The organisation argues that Romanians and Bulgarians – single people as well as families moving together to our shores – would be five, eight or nine times better off in the UK than in their home country.
The figures were used interchangeably across yesterday’s press. So why the difference?
