there is no such thing as low—skilled work, just low—paid no such thing as low—skilled work, just lowing as low—skilled work, just low—paid work. all work is skilled when it's done well. the home secretary believes the gaps can be filled to the economically active but surely this government intends to get carers, the elderly, students into work by waging their raises —— wages but more likely they will cut benefits once again.|j wages but more likely they will cut benefits once again. i welcome the honourable lady to her new position and wish her every success in the role. if i may say so, mr speaker, a bit disappointed because it sounds like the honourable lady has not read the policy statement and has used her remarks to complain. if the honourable gentleman allows me without being rudely interrupted, i will come to the points. perhaps you should have the courtesy and patience... i am should have the courtesy and patience... iam not should have the courtesy and patience... i am not in a hurry. the honourable lady, i wasn't putting her down. she is obviously, if you would like to list

the definition of skilled workers. the definition of skill has been slightly altered, and expanded.e down and the government is keen to stress who they deem skilled workers are welcome to come. the routes for lower skilled workers have been entirely closed off on most. organisations are saying they are going to be short of workers. they are going to adapt to the very short time. the government has put the business owners to say, this is up the business owners to say, this is up to you to make technological advances, to train your staff, pay them more, there was a suggestion of recruiting from the economically inactive uk population. certainly this is a big change for businesses and they are going to have difficulties adjusting to these new thresholds. how it plays out, we will have to see. the government has said they intend to reduce overall levels of migration, but really what they are doing with this new policy is changing the composition of migrants who come to the uk. many thanks. organisations which represent farming, catering and nursing are warning it will be hard to recruit

for the skilled worker, it is the lower skills that will be impacted the most here.going to be expected to come to the uk, without any point based system, however, there is the route for the mobility for the individuals we need to explore, the government is saying to explore, the government is saying to these employers... that route, explain ma that route is you are talking about exploring. so this allows individual, it will be, it is not, there are certain contraries which are permitted to come to use the mobility, but it is being open to the whole of the eu as well, you need to be between the aged of 18 and 30, you have come to the uk and it is all about gaining that work experience in the uk. but, during those two years, you can be upskilled, your salary will increase and this can lead to the skilled worker route eventually down the road. so, those lower skilled workers can be used under the scheme, however the government is saying that any dependents of skilled workers can also fill those gaps in the lower skilled criteria. this scheme is due to come into force,

in far lower skilled workers.l agricultural scheme for fruit pickers, there is a usability scheme for young people to come and do work and foreign students can stay on for and foreign students can stay on for an extra two years after they have graduated, but interestingly, the government in december 2018, when sajid javid was home secretary, produced an immigration white paper which gave a 12 month visa for lower skilled workers to come here, 12 months, because they understood that there would be problems for the care sector and for the construction sector. that idea has gone completely. there is no reason at all for that whatsoever. it will be interesting to see in the months to come, once the system beds down, whether or not the government has to reverse. thank you very much, danny shaw. organisations which represent farming, catering and nursing are warning it will be hard to recruit staff under the new immigration system. but ministers insist businesses must stop relying on cheap labour from europe as colletta

this is a highly skilled job.e and defending lots of people who work in the sector, but is actually going to make the problems in the sector even worse. it doesn't make any sense. it is suggested to me that the government either don't care about the most vulnerable in a society or don't understand the issues on the ground. 0k, john ashworth, shadow health and care secretary, good to get your views. thank you very much for your time. scientists say the shipping industry could be powered by ammonia in place of polluting diesel, as a way of reducing carbon emissions within a decade. the chemical ammonia — the key ingredient of fertilisers — produces no carbon dioxide, though it does generate another greenhouse gas. a report by the royal society says ammonia production currently creates 1.8% of global co2 emissions — the most of any chemical industry. but the authors of the report say new technology can create zero carbon ammonia. well, for more on this, i'm joined now by professor bill david, one of the royal society

not everyone was the skill i needed but ifi everyone was the skill i needed but iflam everyone was thee problem for my industry, a lots of other industries there will be issues and the cleaning industry, restaurants and bars rely on cleaner, we do ours in house but a lot of people from that industry work from eastern europe, that may bea work from eastern europe, that may be a difficulty but for many as a business, that isn't a problem but i know a lot of people will suffer. but they need to adapt. madelyn, the government says it is aiming to reduce overall migration to the uk, but do you think it will achieve the result? it's always really difficult to project how many people will come or guarantee a specific number because immigration numbers can fluctuate unpredictably, regardless of what you do on policy. ido regardless of what you do on policy. i do think it is plausible we will see a reduction relative to what otherwise would have happened because for eu citizens who have made up the bulk of workers coming to the uk, not necessarily family members, if you said this is a more rest

the good news is that recruiting skilled workers looks as if it's going to become easier.come nigh on impossible for many, many businesses, and it's going to pose huge problems, it seems, for those who rely heavily on recruiting low—skilled workers from the eu. the government's response is to say, don't worry, you can now recruit british workers. i'm joined by the director—general of the cbi, carolyn fairbairn. what's wrong with that? why don't companies simply recruit from home? well, companies do recruit from home. we have record employment rates in this country at the moment, we have widespread skill shortages, so yes, i think the government has moved a long way in terms of high skilled, high paid roles, and that's very welcome, taking the cap off skilled visas, and also reducing the cap from 30,000 to more like £25,000 is very welcome. but there will be some sectors that will be worrying about how they are going to recruit at all skill levels, the care sector, the construction sector, the hospitality sector and that is a real concern. how serious are their concerns, an

some are going on to further skills training.ome are going on to community college, some are going on to four-year institutions. for young people in high school, look at c.t.e. it makes so much sense. i cochaired the senate c.t.e. caucus when i first got here in 2011. i started this with senator tim kaine of virginia. we started off having three of us in the caucus. nowp there are 29 -- now there are 29 senators in that caucus? why? because my colleagues are hearing the same thing i'm hearing which is we need to close the skills gap, companies are looking for people, and it's a great opportunity for people who are on the outside to get into the inside, to get a job, and to get good pay and good benefits. so our job is to increase awareness of these skills programs as an education option. our job is to get students who are more interested in skills training into these jobs. this month of february is careed technical education month. we're putting together a resolution. we have 57 senators who signed on to the resolution so far. if

by the way, full-spectrum of job skills from low to high skilled. coming from the private sector, we had not been able to hire people for decades. primarly because we have for decades been telling young people you have to get a four year degree and we have made loans readily accessible, enticed our children to incur $1.5 trillion of student loan debt, providing them degrees that employers don't value where there are real jobs. we also have a welfare system that pays people not to work but let's not focus on that. let's talk about what we really need to do. i don't believe the federal government is effective at providing training programs. i'm trying to dissuade you from looking at the federal government to hop in here for workforce development. what i'm asking the associations to do, get into the private sector. mr. miller, get into high schools. you have to work with technical colleges to provide degree programs the industry needs. we need to get to our children and encourage them and let them know there is no first or second class way to realize t

low skilled low wage workers let's listen to the government's home secretary and then directly after the opposition labor party spokeswoman on this. this basically really defines our immigration policy so the brought in the best people with skills need to come to the u.k. and we will no longer have the routes for cheap low skilled labor that obviously has dominated immigration on our labor market for far too long in this country because if they think that the level of your salary determined how valuable your worry is what do you have what we know that there are people in relatively low paid occupations like social care who are you and your new 15 make it keep people out. ok let's just find these low skilled jobs who are we talking about what kind of jobs are we talking about the classic ones are your fruit pickers your vegetable pickers the people come over for a season maybe from romania maybe from elsewhere in eastern europe and then also what's really important to the british economy to the health workers and the care workers now unison is a major union trade union in the u.k. the

migration over lower skilled, but the public still recognises the need for lower skilled labour in sectorsood and drink. i think this is a misreading of what the public wants around immigration. heather, one of the arguments is you would raise jobs for british workers because if they aren't the foreigners to do them, if you are a hotel who need someone them, if you are a hotel who need someone to clean those rooms, you have to boost wages in order to attract brits to do those jobs. how much would wages have to rise by two replace those low skilled foreign workers with british workers?” don't think of the question of how many —— i think. when you unpick that, that includes students, people who are too sick to work, and people who are too sick to work, and people who have retired under the age of 65. unemployment is at its lowest level in the uk and economic participation is at its highest. where these workers are is a problem. undoubtedly, if you increase the wages in some of these sectors, they would be more attractive. pay isn't the only factor though. it's also the conditions of workers,

government has announced its prospects of immigration plans under a new points based system low skilled workers from around the world would not be allowed it. when british prime minister boris johnson looks out to sea one thing he envisions is a harder border for migrants wanting to work in the u.k. . home secretary pretty patel describes his skin as a radical shake up with basically redefines our immigration policy so the brightest in the best people with skills need to come to the u.k. and we will no longer have the roots for cheap low skilled labor that obviously has dominated immigration on our labor market for far too long in this country. the new proposal would establish a points system with marks handed down based in english language proficiency skills qualifications current salaries and professions. only applicants with enough points would be granted a coveted u.k. work permit however many u.k. industries such as health care rely on overseas workers to do the heavy lifting and warned they could face labor shortages should the proposal be adopted it says if they fail that the lev

out so low skilled or low paid jobs are essential for the economy and the u.k. doesn't have enough of its own citizens willing to do them shut out the immigrants who've been feeding them for decades and you've got a problem if we have a turning off of any access to that lower paid end of the job market care workers laborers on construction sites hospitality workers waitresses. kitchen workers food processors we will potentially see some business is unable to expand and grow and it will affect the growth rate of the economy. the home secretary says the slack could be taken up by the 8400000 british adults who aren't working drill into the data though and most students sick carers or retired perhaps only a 1000000 brits are available for these jobs even if they want to reach alums al-jazeera london. hundreds of dutch farmers have driven their tractors through the hague to protest against the government's emissions policy the latest demonstration opposes the government's plans to rein in nitrogen oxide emissions farmers believe they're being disproportionately targ

there is a difference in how they talk about what they call high skilled immigrants and low skill.t is talking about is creating special visas for science and other industries. broadly speaking we want the best and the brightest but the other consequence is seeing a cracking down on low skills. but where there is an issue is social care. many people who care for their family, they are not worthless. they bring a lot of worth and i think that if that and the practicum that the government has said they will look at solving the social care crisis. so it is potentially heading to more difficulties if you also limit the staff. some things still need to be ironed out the whole thing about this system is that it is flexible. you can move set is in and out. so i wonder if yes, they talk tough today but by the time you reach january and the new system is in place it may look a little different. rachel. the care sector, it is important and it has big shortages that has now been compounded by further restriction that means because it is placed in an unskilled category, apparently, which is in

what is missing from all of this is really the low-skilled, low-wage workers.there's lots of them in the u.k. and they are needed. let's listen to the government's home secretary and t then also o the opposition labour party spokesperson on this. >> this basically redefines our immigration policy, so the brightest and the best people with skills need to come to the u.k. and we will no longer have ro obvusly has dominated immigration and our labor market for far too long in this country. >> it is as if they think thatat the level of your r salary determines how valuable your role is and what skills you have. but we know that there are people in relatively low paid occupations like social l care o are skilled and valuable, and their new system may keep these people out. brent: i mean, they are redefining the policies there. and these low-skilled workers we are talking about, yeah, i guess what kinds of jobs, what kind of things do they do? hannah: the classic one are the people who come and all the fruit and vegetables in the u.k., often for peanuts, quite frankl

that is skilled workers and unskilled workers, and the emphasis is put on skilled workers, who the governments of the british people, and that this approach will change european freedom of movement rights, distorting the uk cosmic economy and the immigration system here. so people coming to live and work in the uk will need a job offer from an approved employer. they will need to be coming to a job which earns at least £25,600 a year, and that has been lowered from the previous threshold of £30,000 a year for skilled migrants from outside the eu, and they will also need to demonstrate that they can speak english. those are three of the things that will earn them points. the threshold is 70 points that people will need to come to the uk, and there are various other factors and there are various other factors and criteria which will earn people points as well. the government has been very clear that there will be no visa for low skilled unskilled migrants coming to live and work in the uk. so people, for example, coming to dojobs like labouring or fruit picking will not be able to apply for a v

there was a limit on the number of skilled labour the skilled workers who could come in, and also theew rules. the issue, really, is for people from the european union who are use to coming here, living and working freely under freedom of movement rules. that is all going to go. this new system targets what the government calls low skilled immigration. there will be a salary threshold of £25,600 or roughly $33,000 — meaning you must earn that or more to get a work visa. there are exceptions. the threashold will be £20,480 or $26,500 for "specific "shortage occupations", including nursing or civil engineering. other sectors will be expected to train more british staff or increase automation. here's priti patel again. the fact of the matter is now, business has a fantastic opportunity to work with this new government, to level up across the united kingdom, invest in people to use innovation, technology, invest in skills across all sectors. part of the government's calculation is that it says there are almost 8.5 million people between the ages of 16 and 64 who are economically inactive

and certainly to reduce the number of low skilled low wage migrants who go there to work now in order to do this they've introduced a point system which they say is similar to one that used to be used at least in australia so let's take a look at the points there's a whole list of characteristics which are only these immigration points you have to have all of these 1st 3 ones you have to have a job offer you have to be working at an appropriate skill level and you have to speak enough english to do that job those 3 together give you 50 points you need to earn 20 more to get into the u.k. next comes a section on money you have to earn at least $20480.00 pounds a year the more you earn the more points you get and finally qualifications if your job is within an occupation where there's felt to be a shortage of workers you get points you also get points if you have a ph d. and more if that ph d. is in science technology engineering or math now what's missing from all this is really the low skilled low wage workers now there's lots of them in the u.k. and their needs are let's listen to th
