In the past two decades, the number of people who have migrated into the UK has been tremendous with political instability in neighbouring nations and continents playing a pivotal role. The topic is especially significant because it has been found that it affects the economy in varied ways with the consequences experienced regarding the nation's productivity and delivery of social services (Dustmann " Frattini 2014). The goal of the research was to determine the trends of migration, but it has since been found that there are more adverse effects on schools and social care. It is thus recommended that the government should moderate the influx of immigrants into the country while ensuring that there is a balance with diversity that immigrants bring to the nation.
Evidence
A key finding has from the investigation is that the migration process has had a direct effect on education and administration of children's services, social services and health services. The demand for school places has been impacted with migrants entering the UK placing a considerable claim on the public expenditure on state education in absolute terms (George et al. 2011, p. 4). The outcome of the delivery of health services has also been of significant concern with results indicating that immigrants had little impact on health services, but it is expected that the demand will rise in future. For example, the investigation in Norfolk and Wales have been focused on forecasting of the future trends based on the available data and determining the migrants' intentions (George et al. 2011, p. 8). Reports have also indicated that there is over-subscription of pupil rolls from the migration of foreigners in the UK with most schools lacking the capacity to accommodate the extra demands (George et al. 2011, p. 25).
The other dimension in the investigation of the research findings has been on the effect on public health and private healthcare. Studies indicate that from the assessment of patterns of drug use and alcohol consumption, there is an increased chance that migrants will suffer from related diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases from the risk factors of smoking and drug use (George et al. 2011 p, 13). There is a lack of data, however, on the costs that such conditions will have on the delivery of public health and the role of the government in meeting these health demands. Nevertheless, specific research has shown that the migration process leads to heightened requirements for particular services or in other cases, a new demand for unique services (Hatton 2005). For instance, it has been found that female genital mutilation clinics in the UK were consulted because of the new demands does address the issues related to female circumcision that was not common in the country (Poppleton et al. 2013, p. 32). It thus underscores the fact that there are associated challenges from the migration of exiles into the UK.
The last critical issue that arises from the increased settlement of migrants in the US is the strain on public services with the increase in population affecting related services significantly. Migrants have been found to increase the demand for public services with results indicating that if foreign people in the UK used public services as those born in the UK, they would make less use of social care (Migration Watch UK 2015, p. 23). It has, however, been difficult to identify the precise impact of immigration on the delivery of local public services though it has been established that theoretically migration increased potential users of public services from the increase in population (Full Fact 2015).
Conclusion
It is noted that the migration of immigrants into the US has increased over the past two decades with the effect impacting adversely on social care, health services, and placing a strain on the education resources. There is, however, a paucity of data on the exact mechanisms the government and the relevant institutions feel the effects from the research that has been done. Other findings show that the result may be negligible because the immigrants are integrated into the systems seamlessly. Overall, the investigation indicates that the implications are primarily theoretical and that the outcomes on the government institutions and social services are perceived in a futuristic perspective it is expected that the demands for the services will increase in future.
Implications and Recommendations
The study implication infers that the delivery of care services, health services and educational needs of UK residents has been affected adversely with the increased population implying new demands (Hickman et al. 2008). It is thus recommended that the government systems should provide for moderation on the number of people who enter the country because, from the findings, it is expected that the demands will continue rising (Rienzo " Vargas-Silva 2012). It is advised, however, that the implementation should be done in a way that ensures that stability is maintained with a focus on embracing multiculturalism and appreciating the diversity that immigration brings to the UK (Collier 2014).
