Recommendation

Voltaire may have said, “Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers,” but UK politicians and business leaders want answers regarding Brexit’s impact on the local economy. A regional visa scheme could calm the concerns of business leaders who fear that they won’t be able to hire the talent they need. In a report commissioned by the City of London, professional services network PwC explains and explores the ins and outs of two potential schemes that could benefit those UK regions and sectors that depend on foreign workers. getAbstract recommends this analysis primarily to UK business leaders and policy makers.

Take-Aways

  • The UK, business leaders say, suffers from a skills deficit, notably within its low-skilled labor workforce.
  • Even if the UK ramps up apprenticeships, it won’t be able to fill gaps in the workforce without employing migrant workers.
  • A regional visa scheme – similar to ones that Australia and Canada employ – could boost the UK’s economy and aid migrants’ integration.
