Madeleine Sumption MBE is a British political scientist who is Director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, which provides analysis of migration in the UK for public and policy audiences. Her research focuses on labour migration and the economic and social impacts of migration policies.

Early life and education

[edit]

Sumption is the daughter of Jonathan Sumption, Lord Sumption.[1] She studied Russian and French at the University of Oxford.[2] She earned a master's degree at the University of Chicago School of Public Policy.[2][3]

Research and career

[edit]

Sumption worked as Director of the Research at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.. Her research considers labour migration and the economic impact of migration policies.[4][5] She studied the migration impacts of Brexit.[6][7][8] She is Director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford.[9]

Sumption has investigated the experiences of the children of immigrants in the United Kingdom and United States.[10] Both are high-immigration nations, with children of immigrants making up around one quarter of young children.[10] There is evidence that the children of immigrants perform better than their parents, and earn more than their non-immigrant peers.[10] However, there are indicators that by 2030 the second generation will earn less than their non-immigrant peers. To improve social mobility, Sumption proposed considering the capacity of immigrants to integrate in selection criteria, to focus on early education and language training and to provide permanent (not temporary) visas.[10] Despite Brexit reducing net EU migration to the UK, in late 2022 UK net migration was unexpectedly high.[11] Sumption argued that this was because of the humanitarian crises in Ukraine and Hong Kong.[11][12]

Sumption is chair of the Migration Statistics User Forum, and a member of the Government of the United Kingdom Migration Advisory Committee.[13][14]
