Migration Advisory Committee Report on Brexit on the UK Labour Market

The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) will today publish a report considering the impacts of Brexit on the UK labour market.

 The Committee was asked to carry out the research by the Government in July 2017 and will cover areas including wages and unemployment. It will also make a set of recommendations on the back off the evidence given by more than 400 businesses, industry bodies and government departments.

 The review is expected to feed into the government’s upcoming immigration bill as part of the changes to UK’s immigration system after the UK leaves the EU.

The Institute of Directors (IoD) members continuously cite shortage of skills as one of the top three barriers to growth of their companies. With skills shortages already prominent across industries, the IoD has been urging the Government to ensure they get the future immigration system right.
