Charlotte Cavaille: Populism, Immigrants and the Welfare State

<p>Immigration can put extra pressure on governments to fund social programs, especially in times of slow economic growth. In this podcast, Political Scientist <a href= "https://charlottecavaille.wordpress.com/">Charlotte Cavaille</a>, says rising populism in some countries is fueling a debate about who should have access to government funded programs. Cavaille studies immigration and public opinion toward the welfare state, and was invited by the IMF’s <a href= "https://www.imf.org/en/Capacity-Development">Institute for Capacity Development</a> to present her research on immigration, redistribution, and the electoral success of far-right populism.</p>
