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...

    Therefore, an increase in the number of immigrants will generally decrease the wages of domestic unskilled workers. Immigrants are not substitutes for all domestic workers. A disproportionate number of immigrants are low-skilled relative to native workers, and so tend to be poor substitutes for workers other than the low-skilled—that is, they do not do the same things at all. In the jargon of economics, two factors that are not substitutes are called "complements." Immigration of workers and Unemployment in Canada has taken center stage of both public and political debates in recent years. This paper seeks to analyze that simultaneous effect of immigration and unemployment on wage growth rate in Canada. It is of great necessity to survey the impact of these two variables in detail given their perceived relative importance in the determination of wage growth rate in Canada. Immigration to Canada refers to the process by which citizens of other nations move and come to live in

    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 evidence shows that in the long run, immigrants do not reduce native employment rates. But some evidence suggests that in the short run, immigration may slightly reduce native employment because the economy takes the time to adjust to new immigration. Importantly, this effect varies according to the broader economic environment. In particular, when the economy is growing and the labor market is adding jobs, new immigration creates enough jobs even in the short run (and even for the less-educated) to cause no harm to the net employment of native-born workers. But during economic downturns, things do not adjust as quickly. When the economy is weak, new immigration has a small negative impact in the short run on the employment of native-born workers.

    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...

Furthermore, in the world, many countries have the large number of people who immigrate because of many reasons likes finding suitable jobs or new place to live.

    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

    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.
