Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) publishes report on low-skilled migration
The MAC has published a report on low-skilled migration in the UK.

In May 2013, the Minister for Immigration asked the MAC to advise on the issue, effects and the resulting economic and social impacts of low-skilled work migration.

The minister specifically asked the MAC to:

  • consider the labour market, economic and social impacts on the UK and specifically on British workers, drawing on and updating earlier work in this area

  • in particular, the MAC has been asked to research the growth of migrant labour, distinguishing where possible between EEA and non-EEA migrants, in low skilled sectors of the UK economy and the factors driving this

The full report together with a shorter, summary report and press release (PDF, 106 KB, 3 pages) is available on this website.
