A new research undertaken recently in the UK shows that the people of the country, of late, have become rather negative about the after-effects of the mass movement of overseas people made to the nation--on the British society and its economy-during the course of the last 10 years or so. The study suggests that the demand for a reduction in the overall numbers of the individuals settling in the nation lately--in the backdrop of the largest recorded influx of migrants-has grown steadily.
The toughening public stance was evident most remarkably against the comparatively less qualified and less trained respondents. The study found that laborers from abroad--together with the students from overseas with not-too-good grades--were viewed as specifically unwanted. The findings of the research are likely to boost the plans of London to decrease the levels of immigration.
Meanwhile, the authors of the report, based on the said study, were quoted as saying that the available facts clearly show that the broad outlines of the followed course are perfectly in sync with the community views. They added that much more than anything, what exactly motivates the voters of the UK, in favor of migration, is the widely held opinion that the immigrants are very skilled.
The report continues that in the wake of the New Labor storming to power in 1997, together with the enactment of the Human Rights Act in 1998, migration to the country was made much easier even as most of the existing restrictions on asylum were done away with. That the development was soon followed by a big influx of fresh arrivals from the 8 nations of Europe--which became a part of the European Union (EU) in 2004--is too well known.
A close and thorough scrutiny of survey, done over a period of the last 20 years or so, reveals that there has been a constant growth in demands for comparatively lower net immigration. Although in 1995, nearly 39% of those interviewed opined that the number of overseas people allowed entry into the UK must be decreased, by 2011, the same had swelled to 51%. At 55%, it peaked in 2008.
The share of those people--who opined that the economic after-effects of overseas movement of people to the UK from abroad is very negative for Britain--headed north from 11% in 2002 to 21% 10 years later, with much fewer continuing to be on the fence on the issue. Apart from this, the share of those respondents--who disclosed that the cultural impact of immigration is exceedingly bad--swelled from 9% to become 21% during the course of the same time-frame.
In a related development, a separate survey has discovered that 70% of individuals favor putting a restriction on the overall figures of the overseas students given entry to the various colleges & universities of the UK. Almost the same percentage opines that those, who are not much comfortable with the English language, must be expelled from the nation, and even more opine that those overseas people--who work when they should be actually pursuing their studies--must be exiled from the country.
