The Migration Advisory Committee stated that linking immigration to skills policies is not straightforward and must consider specific sector circumstances, including issues of pay and conditions.
Despite intentions to reduce migration through skills training, the committee highlighted that increasing domestic skills doesn't automatically mitigate reliance on international recruitment.
Skilled migrants significantly contribute more to the UK economy, with the average migrant on a skilled worker visa offering financial benefits 20 times greater than that of a UK-born adult.
While improving domestic training is a valuable goal, it won't necessarily lead to reduced net migration, as employers still prefer the best candidates for their vacancies.
