As regions such as the Middle East continue to experience instability, climate change is driving migration from Africa and Central Asia - these 'push factors' lead to increased migration throughout Europe. Yet despite being one of the fundamental issues of the modern age, the impact of migration on Western developed economies is dangerously misunderstood. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, economics and migration expert Giles Merritt seeks to explode the ten most common myths about European migration. He shows how the west's aging population needs migrants, and demonstrates in clear and accessible writing how governments must adapt to increase migration to solve the challenges of the modern world. The result is a clear-eyed assessment of the issues, and a way forward for the west which preserves our political democracies by rejecting the politics of the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGiles Merritt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ehas reported on European affairs for half a century, as a \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e correspondent in Paris and Brussels, and as an op-ed writer for the \u003ci\u003eInternational Herald Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e.
