摘要：People move across borders seeking better employment opportunities, a new home or a safer place to live. Whatever the reason may be, or whether the initial intention is stay temporarily or permanently, many migrants have settled in receiving countries. Immigrants can be classified into economic and non-economic migrants including refugees and asylum seekers. Asylum is different from migration as it is the protection given by a country to someone on the basis of a well founded fear of persecution. This difference can also be seen in the economic performance of different groups. Distinguishing between economic migrants and refugees/asylum seekers has always been a complicated question in Britain, both for government officials as well as for the public as the process involves assumptions about authenticity of genuine political asylum seekers and individuals migrating for solely economic reasons (Adelson, 2004
