Expert Insights: Starmer on Training UK Workers and Net Migration Trends
Keir Starmer’s plan to reduce net migration by enhancing domestic worker skills may not achieve the desired results, according to the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC).
The MAC suggests that improving training alone may not significantly decrease immigration numbers, as factors like low pay and working conditions also contribute to labor shortages.
The MAC’s analysis indicates that while skilled migrants positively impact public finances, a substantial reduction in net migration would require targeted measures beyond general training initiatives.
