Public left in dark' about impact of migration on Britain because of gaps in data
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Data on migration and crime is full of holes and is leaving the public and politicians in the dark about the true impact of immigration on the UK, an expert report has warned. New research published by the influential Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford said the government does not know how many people are in the country unauthorised and has inadequate information about what happens to asylum seekers before or after they make their first claim."
The Independent deploys reporters across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and funds reporting through donations to avoid paywalls, aiming to make journalism accessible to all. The outlet investigates subjects like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. New research from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford finds major gaps in migration and crime data, including unknown numbers of unauthorised residents, inadequate information on asylum seekers before and after first claims, and limited data on cases affected by the ECHR. These gaps impede informed public debate and policy-making.
