Research Debunks Myths Behind UK's Low-Skilled Immigration Cuts

The UK government wants fewer low-skilled workers to come into the country.

Some people think this is a bad idea, especially in jobs like caring for people or delivering things.

The government thinks companies should train local workers instead of hiring foreigners.

But, research shows that sometimes companies that hire immigrants also train their current workers.

Also, young people often avoid these jobs because the pay and conditions are bad, not because immigrants are doing them.

Making jobs better and providing fair pay is more important than stopping immigrants from coming in.

Temporary visas also cause issues for workers and businesses.
