London: Brexit has changed UK immigration patterns, new study reveals. According to the Immigration, After Brexit study, conducted jointly by UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) and The Migratory Observatory, Brexit resulted in the largest change in British emigration patterns in 50 years.
Based on the report, the number of new immigrants from outside the EU has exceeded expectations. The post-Brexit refugee influx into the UK is the largest since World War II. International students have also increased in number. Together, the two have led to a record emigration of half a million, the report says. Even the Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast for immigration changed.
Migration used to be low-wage and low-skill, but it is now high-wage and high-skill. The Brexit immigration scheme has also undergone changes. The new visa system implemented following Brexit has made it easier for non-EU workers to come to the UK.
According to the report, there are shortages of workers in accommodation, administration, retail, hospitality, and transport. In the health and social care sectors, recruitment from outside the EU has increased, with 56,900 visas issued for care workers last year. However, public concern about illegal immigration has increased.
