This statistic shows the result of a question from the British Social Attitudes survey which asked what kind of effect, if any, the respondents think immigration has on the economy. The respondents have been split here by migrant heritage. First and second generation migrants thought that the effect was bad proportionally much less than the 'non-migrants' did.
"What kind of effect do you think immigration generally has on Britain's economy?"*
(by migrant heritage)
* Original survey question:
"On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is extremely bad and 10 is extremely good, would you say it is generally bad or good for Britain's economy that migrants come to Britain from other countries?
"
Figures do not sum to 100 due to the effects of rounding.
