The Role Of Inequality In The Labour Market
Inequality within the current labour market is a growing concern with the United Kingdom. A sediment shared by many British Nationals is that ‘PESKY immigrants. They move to Britain, taking jobs, scrounging welfare benefits, straining health services, overrunning local schools and occupying state-subsidised housing’. (Economist, 2014) Of the 290,000 people who immigrated for work in September 2015, 59% (170,000) had a definite job to go to (Statistics, 2016)
There is still no evidence of an overall negative impact of immigration on jobs, wages, housing or the crowding out of public services. Any negative impacts on wages of less skilled groups are small. One of the largest impacts of immigration seems to be on public perceptions. (Wadsworth, 2015) …show more content…
Further reading would suggest that United Kingdom immigrants are more skilled than those in the United States, so such pressure is more likely to reduce inequality as the wages of top jobs are likely to fall.
(Wadsworth, 2015)
Taking into account for this research, it would suggest that immigration is actually improving our economy and contributing the polar opposite of the stigmatism. However
United Kingdom research suggests that immigration has a small impact on average wages of existing workers but more significant effects along the wage distribution: low-wage workers lose while medium and high-paid workers gain. (Anon,
2015)
In comparison with the notions presented, the research would suggest that actually immigration is GOOD for the United Kingdom, on the other hand however immigration greatly increases the competition for lower wage jobs thus reducing the amount of jobs available to ‘UK-born workers’ (Anon, 2015) Another study, between the period 2000-2007, found that a 1% increase in the share of migrants in the United Kingdom’s working-age population lowers the average wage by 0.3% (Reed and Latorre 2009).
With this contrasting information, studies would suggest that limiting immigration after an exit from the European Union would increase the average wage of the lower income individuals due to the harder legal system without the free travel within the European Union. The guardian had a capture headline ‘Rush for dual-nationality passports as EU migrants fear Brexit’ (Henley, 2015) as well as ‘Britain’s job market, more flexible than the rest of Europe, remains the main attraction. Only limits on free movement from the continent would change things’ (Economist, 2016)
