The UK is currently experiencing shortages of labour in numerous sectors, including hospitality, agriculture, and healthcare.
Labour mobility, encompassing a spectrum from independent contractors to highly skilled professionals, plays a pivotal role in the prosperity of the UK economy. Given the UK's stature as a leading services-based economy, addressing this issue should be a central priority for economic growth alongside training up UK workers.
To help tackle these challenges, implementing a youth mobility scheme or a cultural worker programme should be explored.
