OBE for Professor Jackie Wahba
We are delighted to announced that QuantMig team member, Professor Jackie Wahba, has received the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Economic Policy in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for 2020.
Professor Wahba's academic work focuses on the economics of migration and labour, but she also plays an active civic role in advising various national and international bodies on matters related to migration. Notably, this includes being a long-standing member of the Migration Advisory Committee in the UK, advising the Home Office on various aspects of migration policy. The OBE is a recognition of both the highest calibre, as well as the societal and policy impact of Professor Wahba's work.
Warmest congratulations from the whole QuantMig team!
