Migration and Brexit2017 •
This article aims to indicate the role and importance of migration issues in the British social and political discourse in the period before Brexit. The article consists of three main parts. The first part adumbrates basic information about immigration to the UK, the scale and intensity of the phenomenon. It is pointed out here that the United Kingdom is currently ranked among the group of EU countries with the highest influx of foreigners. The second part focuses on the role and importance of immigration in the British social and political discourse. It is noted here that since the turn of the twentieth century the issue of immigration in the UK has gained the status of one of the key social and political issues. At the same time, compared with many other countries, Great Britain is today perceived as a country much more reluctant to immigrants. The third part presents the contribution of immigrants from European Union countries to the social and economic development of Great Britain. It is emphasized here that generally immigration from European Union countries has a positive, though in some areas slight impact on the British economy and the level of social development.

Spearhead of multiculturalism in Europe, the UK has considerably moved its position on immigration and integration policies over the 2000s'. Whereas in the 1990s' the topic did not attract much attention, it increasingly did in the 2000s', rushing its way onto government's agenda and pushing policies towards more civic integration policy and less multiculturalism. This paper proposes an overview of the current situation and last policy developments. A first section brushes a picture of immigration trends and its outcomes for migrants. It also discusses the politics around the issue; how public opinion behaves, how political parties are positioned on the question. I then succinctly present the country's monitoring strategy; or else how it gathers information on both phenomena to inform policy-making. Moving on to policy itself, I present some of the last developments brought about by the Cameron administration before turning to evidence-based policy-making in the UK; or how the UK makes sure policy tackles its purposes. ____________________________________________________________________________________

Brexit: Does it Pose a Multi-factorial Impact on Immigration and the UK Economy2020 •
This study seeks to understand the impact of Brexit on immigration as well as on the UK economy. In the first part, immigration has been discussed as the strong background of the Brexit referendum. Immigration induced inconveniences along with the feeling of sovereignty intensified the call for the Brexit referendum. However, the major impact of Brexit (after the referendum) on immigration is the EU immigration trend tends to go down from 2016 to the present. The reason is probably a foretaste of the UK government to harden the immigration system for EU nationals through Brexit. A political uncertainty posed by the Brexit issue also fueled the unsteady situation in wage rate and demotivated the immigrants to stay in the UK or to immigrate there. In the meanwhile, the flow of Non-EU immigrants found its peak by rising to 379,000 in September 2019. The second part upholds that the UK economy is predicted to face a challenge to rejuvenate the economy after Brexit. It is found that the reduced immigration through Brexit notion may reduce the GDP of the UK by a significant percentage for a long time after Brexit. Moreover, it compresses the size of the labor force in the UK economy. For instance, EU and Non-EU nationals working in the UK increased meagerly since the referendum. The final part analyzes the policy decisions after Brexit and its impact on future immigration. Analyses show that Britain is probably going to attract mainly the high skilled immigrants through introducing a point-based immigration system. As a result, Brexit will be fruitful for the UK in making opportunities for innovation and invention in science, health, and technology by skilled immigrants. However, it will harm the rights of the EU immigrants especially those who are low skilled workers. As the UK is passing the transition period, there is time and scope to customize the settings of legislation through negotiations and policy deployment. Such steps will destine the fate of immigrants from the EU and Non-EU countries in the post Brexit era.

Challenges for Immigration Policy in Post-Brexit Britain: IntroductionThis background synthesis provides a short overview about the current state of research with regard to European migration to the United Kingdom (UK). According to several studies, EU migrant workers are well-educated net contributors to the UK budget and increase economic performance. Migration does contribute to shortages in housing and schooling, however this shortage is a consequence of political neglect. EU immigration fills job gaps and fixes skill mismatches, is complementary to British labor, and has not affected wages negatively altogether. If EU labor were to be markedly reduced, this would cause serious labor shortages for some industries. After a Brexit, Britain would not likely be able to decrease EU labor movement significantly if it chooses to rejoin the common market because of political precedents and coercions. Moreover, migration policy will have to remain relatively liberal post-Brexit were it not to hurt economic performance. A solution might be a flexible, balanced visa policy adjusted not only to skills needed but also open to those who have a job offer before finding their way to the UK.
This policy briefing looks at the implications of different post-Brexit immigration systems for the rights and conditions of workers. It warns of the creation of a migrant workforce with less secure rights, creating downward pressure on UK workers pay and conditions. And argues the current free movement system, coupled with a new agenda for employment rights ("free movement plus"), offers the most security for working people.
