The United Kingdom’s Conservative Party is looking to copy Australia’s points-based migration system, which has been met with condemnation from employers wanting low and semi-skilled migrant workers:
Boris Johnson’s proposed “Australian-style” points system to reduce immigration has been criticised for failing to understand how vital low and medium-skilled jobs are to the UK economy and for giving a false impression to voters of radical change.
The scheme would separate future immigrants into three tiers with entry for exceptional and talented people, skilled workers with a job offer, and unskilled for short-term schemes.
