Introduction:‎

Migration in every country leads to a change in the labour market. Countries like UK ‎grant immigration rights to the large numbers of immigrants every year and openly allow ‎immigrations from citizens of their former colonies. The attitudes of a country towards ‎immigration vary greatly on the particular employment patterns and needs at that given time, and ‎these attitudes may change over time. This paper will assess the changes in the labour market of ‎the UK due to the immigrations and its impact on the human resource management in an ‎international setting.‎

A flow of new migrants in any country may have a huge impact on the labour market, ‎however the positive or negative aspect of the impact greatly depends on the jobs being created ‎due to the spending of the immigrants to boost businesses and their production, the drop-off in ‎the activity of the existing population such as the retirement or number of dependent population, ‎and the capabilities of immigrants to fill the existing gaps of skills. Such factors are considered ‎when it is decided whether migration has actually affected the labour market of a particular ‎country negatively or positively. Moreover, in the UK, analysts suggest that the immigrations ‎have led to a huge impact on the labour market which is mostly regarded as a positive one ‎‎(Adesina, 2008, p. 72).‎

Literature Review:‎

According to the statistics and trends which have been observed in the labour market ‎since the 1940s when the mass migration took place, it can be concluded that there have b...

Immigration has directly affected the through the addition of workers to the labor force. At the most basic level, immigration increases the supply of labor in the economy.

    First, immigrants come to the U.S. to work and bring valuable skills which help grow the economy despite the negative views surrounding their part in the U.S. economy. Since the 2008-2009 recession the view on immigration and its effects on the economy has been more negative than positive (Peri, 2012). A study done by Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government found that about 50 percent of American adults believe that immigrants burden the country because they, “take jobs, housing, and healthcare”, while the other 50 percent believe that, “immigrants strengthen the country due to their hard work and talents” (Delener & Ventilato, 2008). Over the past decade, “over half of the increase in the U.S. labor force,… was the result of immigration-l...

  • The Treatment of Immigrants In our Society

    All of the negative press over immigrants, whether it is a dispute within our Parliament or a story covering a daring illegal entrance into England by refugees, must all contribute to the blame laid on immigrants in our society. Much of the anger towards immigrants in the past has been provoked by the system of immigration working almost too well. Examples of vandalism and prejudice have been experienced by wealthier immigrants; those who have set up successful businesses in foreign countries, only to suffer from the wrath of jealous inhabitants. It is my view that this sort of abuse should not be tolerated, just because someone comes from a different part of the very same world as another person. Although our government receives much of the criticism if the system of immigration fails, it is realistically down to the public to take

    Immigration has played a major role in the economy of the United States, creating both deficits and surpluses in the U.S. economy. Arguments have been made that immigration brings more negative effects to the United States economy than it does positive, whereas on the other hand, people claim that immigrants have taken a major weight of the economy of the U.S. and has even allowed the economy to make significant growths. Considering the fact that the total accountable population of the U.S. is said to be made up of approximately 13% of immigrants, many arguments have been made for and against the entrance of immigrants into the United States. Immigration has effects upon the work force, the living conditions, the poverty rates, and other contributing

    Firstly, an influential change which has structured the UK labour market is the process of globalisation which has seen economic growth as well as increased choice of goods and services. We have also seen significant interconnectedness between national and regional labour markets and a rise in the supply of migrant labour into many nations. This has changed the type of skills and experiences within the labour market (Ber, 2008) and fluctuations in supply and demand of labour. There was a net flow of 182,000 long-term migrants to the UK in the year ending June 2013, the first annual increase for two years (ONS, 2013). With the acc...

    However with this perk, many problems occur for the UK in particular as it is such a desirable place to migrate to as it is rich in jobs and offers support for people who require it. This year, annual net migration to Britain has hit a record level of 330,000 – 10,000 higher than its previous high in 2005, according to the Office for National Statistics. The latest rise has been mainly driven by a continuing rise in those coming to work in Britain, who account for 65,000 of the increase. The majority of these migrants are Bulgarians and Romanians (EU members), with the number of Bulgarians and Romanians doubling from 28,000 to 56,000 in twelve months. The immigration minister, James Brokenshire, said the following figures showing net migration 220,000 higher than the government's 100,000 target was ‘deeply disappointing’.

  • Argumentative Essay On Immigration

    1683 Words  | 4 Pages

    Immigration poses an ongoing debate in which people are becoming increasingly unsure as to whether immigrants are benefiting their society. This paper will examine three of the main benefits of immigration: the increase in diversity it provides, the rise in skills and labor and the benefits to the economy. Immigration leads to cross-cultural integration, therefore increasing ethnic variety. This increase in diversity is beneficial as it leads to improvements in society, as well as educational development. Increased immigration also means there are more skills and experts available to the hosting countries, as well as extra workers to take up jobs that need filling. Immigration also leads to improvements in the economy as taxes are paid and employment and wages increase.
