Abstract
The influx of migrants in foreign countries is often misconstrued, disenchanted, and perceived as a mistake. There is a growing conjecture that migrants are creating more problems in the hosting countries. Such thinking is contested as studies are increasingly recognising the importance of migrants and their contributions to the domestic economy. As such, this study seeks to unravel the notion of migrant entrepreneurship mainly focusing on the UK. Using the qualitative data, collected from the literature from 2000 to 2023, the findings indicate the impact of migrant entrepreneurship in developed economies is still debated upon, and new theories are still emerging. The evidence suggests that migrants in the UK are widely conceded. Despite the penetration in the new country, migrant entrepreneurs still face various challenges and limited support is accorded to them. At a national level, the preliminary analysis suggests that migrants have to some extent the entrepreneurial skills which are beneficial in terms of productivity, innovation, creativity, and income generation. In addition, migrants are more successful as they grapple with work and provision of economic and social benefit to hosting and home countries. These require courage, determination, and resourcefulness. Hence, there is a significant revelation in relation to the landscape for migrant entrepreneurs which shows the influence they have on the host economy and environment. The study concludes that migrant entrepreneurship has the prospects to offer financial and societal benefits an aspect that should be embraced by all hosting countries.
