What you missed: Latest in the UK Migration

Number of non-EU Workers surpasses that of EU Workers

Modern immigration started in the UK after the end of World War II. The British Nationality Act, enacted in 1948, allowed the existing subjects of Europe and the Commonwealth States to live and work in the UK without a visa; migration was initially sought only to fill the gaps in labour shortages and facilitation of mass migration was never intended. Migration was generally motivated by economic prospects and rose from 3,000 persons per year in 1953 to 136,400 persons per year in 1961. A Cabinet committee was formed in 1950 to find ways to check immigration.  

According to a report published by the University of Oxford’s Migration Observatory, the number of non-EU workers has spiked up recently, overtaking that of EU workers for the first time since 2006. Earlier, EU migrant workers numbered two-thirds of the total UK migrant worker population.

The introduction of UK’s points-based immigration system shall significantly affect the figures for the next year, remarks Jennifer Lambe, founder Lambe & Co.
