D&I | UK's surge in skilled worker immigration shows why diversity is a good business decision

According to new figures, Britain has seen an increase in the number of skilled workers coming from Asia and Africa.

The research from Sky News indicates that these workers are emigrating following the post-Brexit migration system that aims to bring ‘skilled workers’ to the country, such as those in IT, nursing and accounting.

The new system reportedly makes it easier for those outside of the EU to enter the country to work, and the new figures show that despite the number of European migrants decreasing since Brexit, this has been offset with the number of migrants coming into the country from outside Europe.

Amongst some of the leading countries these skilled workers are coming from, India, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana are some of the countries where workers are being attracted to come over the most.
