Welcome to the twitter account of the Labour Mobility in Transition Project, a 3-year ESRC project at Leeds University Business School. We will be tweeting about work, migration regulations and their impact on workforce and businesses in key sectors, skills, and related stuff.
Our report From low-skilled to good work: a joint approach to migration policy is out today! 1/ business.leeds.ac.uk/downloa…
The outcome of four years of research of 'low skilled' sectors (social care, hospitality, food processing, warehousing ) we look at reasons for reliance on migrant workers in low paid jobs, how to improve working conditions in the sectors for both migrants and UK workers 2/
One of our findings is that most employers that invest in recruiting from abroad also invest in training their workers, both domestic and migrant, and have better outcomes in recruitment and retention. More details in the report or exec summary : 3/3 business.leeds.ac.uk/downloa…

Classify gig workers as workers rather than self-employed and abolish exploitative zero-hour contracts!

Another part of Saša Uhlová's report on the exploitation of Eastern European workers in West European countries. Europe's population is getting older and the care sector is in crisis. Relying on underpaid migrant workers is not a solution.

It's great to see two reports out today which both recommend a real Living Wage in social care. The new government has an opportunity to impact the lives of millions by committing to the real Living Wage for care workers. More details on the reports below👇

Just published! New LIMITS report from our survey of employers’ labour and workforce strategies in the post-Brexit, post-COVID period is now available business.leeds.ac.uk/downloa…
#migration #brexit #covid #work #employment @CERIC_LUBS @ESRC @UKRI_News Here are some key points🧵1/
The survey found that relatively few job roles in the four sectors would be eligible for Skilled Worker visa. The high salary threshold is the main reason why few employers (5% overall, rising to 7% in care) in the survey have made use of sponsored visas for non-UK workers. 9/
