UK labour shortages and immigration: looking at the evidence

Alan Manning

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: Can the shortages of workers reported by the UK's food and drink sector be solved by making it easier to hire migrants? How will wages in these sectors change? And is there a conflict between short- and long-term fixes? Alan Manning sets out the trade-offs involved in answering these questions.
