Tag #Point-Based System

How does the UK's points-based immigration system function, and how will the proposed reforms impact different sectors of the economy?

The sharp increase in net migration is attributed to the Conservative government's immigration policies and the improved data collection methods, including more detailed information on Ukrainian visas. This influx has sparked concerns about the strain on public services, while some sectors, such as healthcare, rely heavily on foreign workers. The government aims to reform the points-based system, focusing on training domestic workers to lessen reliance on foreign labor.
