The British Prime Minister wants a fundamental overhaul of the visa system. After Brexit, the country is short of workers

According to the business daily, the Prime Minister intends to challenge some of his colleagues – as he said against immigration – to the government and propose changes that would allow employers in Britain to hire more employees from abroad. Among other things, the requirement for knowledge of English in some areas could be facilitated, for example.

When asked if other occupations would be added to the list of people who can come to the country, Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng told the BBC that the matter has now been addressed by the interior minister. “The interior minister will release a statement on this in the coming weeks,” Kwarteng added.

The British government also plans to lift restrictions on the number of seasonal workers who can come from overseas to work in British agriculture, according to the FT.

According to a poll from this August, the number of European Union citizens who moved to Britain dropped dramatically after Brexit. The dramatic decline in migration from EU countries has hit the UK hospitality sector particularly hard.

While Brexit has worsened Britain’s chronic labor shortage, it wasn’t the only cause, according to research from the University of Oxford’s Migration Observatory (MO) and independent think tank ReWage.

According to the research, the pandemic, early retirement of over 50s, high levels of employment across Europe and a shortage of international labor have also contributed to the high number of vacancies in Britain.
