Is there something fundamentally unsustainable about the structure of the UK economy and society. Many come here to work to support a UK economy which is clearly deficient in the range of skills and or incentives for UK born nationals to do the jobs.
Importing people to fill the gaps in the job market is analogous to borrowing money to support an unsustainable standard of living. It can be expedient in the short term but is not a longer term solution.
A strategy to balance the UK labour market is needed so that skills and people available better match those that are required. The alternative is an ever growing imported (migrant) workforce.
How is the question - improved productivity, implementation of AI more widely, better training and education, automation???
