The influence of immigration on Britain

The influence of immigration on Britain

The impact of immigration on Britain, the application cycle of British investment immigrants is very short, and the project approval speed is also very fast. However, since Britain left the European Union, more and more people have paid more attention to immigration and the influence of Britain. Let's understand the influence of immigration on Britain. Welcome to reading.

The Impact of Immigration on Britain 1 The Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Employment and Pensions jointly issued a report on the Impact of Immigration on Economy and Finance, which triggered an unprecedented debate on the issue of immigration between the British ruling and opposition parties.

There are two distinct voices on immigration policy.

Among the EU member states, Britain has the loosest immigration policy. Since the New Labour government came to power from 65438 to 0997, the British economy has been growing continuously, creating a large number of employment opportunities. The British government has always adopted an "open door" attitude towards immigrants. The loose immigration policy not only attracts immigrants from traditional British colonial countries and Asian countries, but also directly promotes the free flow of labor among EU member States. Especially after the EU's eastward expansion in 2004, new immigrants from Romania, Poland and other new countries entered the British labor market one after another, forming a new wave of immigration.

In this unprecedented immigration debate, the views of all walks of life in Britain have changed from different opinions at first to two completely different voices. One school fully affirmed the contribution of immigrants to the British economy; The other school emphasizes the negative impact of immigration on society. The above-mentioned report jointly issued by the British Home Office is more inclined to the former view. The report pointed out that this new wave of immigrants has many characteristics such as large scale, long duration and positive economic impact.

First of all:

According to preliminary estimates, since 1997, the total number of new immigrants in Britain has exceeded 165438+ 10,000, accounting for about 7% and 8% of the total population in Britain. If we take 2004 as the line, the number of new immigrants was1450,000 before, and then it rose to around190,000. It is predicted that the average number of new immigrants in Britain will reach 500,000 after 2007.

Second:

The report positively evaluates the positive contribution of new immigrants to the British economy. Compared with British workers, new immigrants have surpassed local workers in skills, honesty and diligence, and made great contributions to British economic development. In 2004 and 2005, 17% of Britain's total economic growth was created by immigrants. In addition, the survey shows that in 2000, British immigrants paid 31200 million pounds in taxes and spent 28.8 billion pounds on public services and subsidies, making a net contribution to the British economy; In addition, this contribution of immigrants has increased year by year.

Third:

New immigrants are engaged in industries with relatively low social status and long-term discrimination by "locals", thus partially alleviating the long-standing imbalance between supply and demand of labor in these industries. In 2006, the survey on the distribution of immigrant industry showed that the employment ratio of immigrants from newly joined countries in Eastern Europe to British natives was 265,438+0% to 65,438+03%, 65,438+04% to 9%, 24% to 65,438+09% and 654,33 respectively. A sample survey of employers also shows that in some industries, immigrants are more honest, more diligent, have lower dismissal costs and lower salary requirements than British natives, so employers are more willing to hire immigrants.

The influence of immigration on Britain. Medical and educational benefits of British immigrants.

Medical benefits:

In Britain, the national health care system is one of the important components of the British social welfare system, and its core principle is that everyone enjoys a unified standard of medical services.

The way of seeing a doctor in Britain is different from that in China. Not everyone goes to the hospital for serious illness or minor illness, nor does everyone go to the big hospital.

The practice in Britain is to see a doctor on the spot.

First, choose a family doctor GP near your place of residence. They are usually NHS doctors in local community clinics.

After you register there and get a GP card, you will be included in the NHS system.

After that, regular fluoroscopy or gynecological examination will be notified by this system.

When I have a headache and a fever, I go to see a general practitioner. I don't pay for treatment and medicine, but I have to pay 6 or 4 pounds for each prescription when I get the medicine at the pharmacy.

Family clinics and community clinics are the main bodies of NHS, which constitute a medical and health care network according to population distribution, and there are basically no dead ends.

Education benefits:

1, 1 1 year compulsory education:

96% of British students are free students funded by the education fund.

2. Free milk:

The British Education Bureau provides free milk for students under 7 years old in public schools and students in special schools such as deaf-mute and mentally retarded children.

3. Low-priced lunch:

Public schools generally have canteens to provide students with balanced nutrition and low-cost lunches;

4. School bus:

Some public schools provide school buses to pick up students for free;

5. University allowance:

Although higher education is not free, the vast majority of British college students (90%) can get government subsidies;

6. Student loans:

College students can apply for student loans, get tuition and living expenses, and enjoy more four-year interest-free student loans.

The influence of immigration on Britain 3 Education and medical benefits of British immigrants

First, the British welfare system policy: education welfare

Britain is a country that attaches great importance to education and has gathered the most beautiful schools, colleges and universities in the world. Education and quality teaching in the UK not only attract students from all over the world to study in the UK, but also attract high-net-worth families from China to immigrate to the UK. After hundreds of years of evolution, the British education system is quite perfect and complex, with great flexibility. Generally speaking, it is divided into three stages: compulsory education, continuing education and higher education.

1, compulsory education in Britain

In Britain, everyone must receive compulsory education between the ages of 5 and 16. Students can enjoy all free state benefits. Some public schools offer free school buses to pick up students. All parents must send their children to school. Dining halls are usually located in public schools to provide balanced and low-cost lunches for students. Primary education usually lasts until 1 1 year.

2. Continuing education in Britain

It is the most distinctive part of the British education system, and it is also the part that British immigrants pay attention to. It is "higher education" after primary and secondary education, laying the foundation for entering higher education or employment. 16- 18 years old is the third year of high school (or college preparatory class), which is the transitional period from middle school to university, focusing on academic and professional research.

3. British higher education

Higher education is the advanced stage of the British education system, including undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and higher national diplomas. Higher education is usually provided by universities, and many colleges also offer bachelor's degrees and higher education diploma courses.

Second, the British welfare system policy: medical welfare

In Britain, the national health care system is one of the most important components of the British social welfare system. Its core principle is that everyone enjoys a unified medical service standard. The way of seeing a doctor in Britain is different from that in China. Not all serious and minor illnesses go to the hospital, and not everyone goes to the big hospital. The practice in Britain is to see a doctor on the spot. First, choose a family doctor near home. They are usually NHS doctors in small local community clinics. After registering there and obtaining a general practitioner card, they will be included in the national health care system. After that, the system will notify regular fluoroscopy or gynecological examination. If you have a headache and a fever, you should see a general practitioner. You don't have to spend money to see a doctor or buy medicine. When you take medicine at the drugstore, you only need to pay the corresponding prescription fee for each prescription. Family clinics and community clinics are the main bodies of national health care services. They form a health care network according to population distribution, and there are basically no dead ends.

The influence of immigration on Britain 4 The influence of Britain's "Brexit" on immigrants

Impact 1: Travel costs are reduced and shopping is cheaper.

Since Britain withdrew from the European Union, many people have a wait-and-see attitude towards traveling to Britain, and dare not make a move at eleven o'clock! However, in fact, it is precisely because of Britain's withdrawal from the EU that we have to go to Britain. After all, their devaluation can save us a lot of money. Britain's withdrawal from the EU is not a civil war in Britain, which is nothing.

Impact 2: RMB depreciation

The Fed has never been absent from raising interest rates, and Brexit may push up the US dollar index. If the Fed raises interest rates, once Britain leaves the European Union, the RMB is likely to face devaluation again.

Impact 3: There are advantages and disadvantages, tuition fees are reduced and prices are higher.

"If the UK leaves the EU, will it be difficult to study in the UK?" On the eve of the British referendum, many international students are thinking about this issue. Generally speaking, the change of the cost of studying abroad is the result of the interaction of exchange rate, price and employment.

On the one hand, leaving Europe, the pound will inevitably face greater depreciation, which will naturally lower the exchange rate of the pound against the RMB. For those who study abroad, tuition fees will definitely be reduced a lot.

On the other hand, after Brexit, the trade partnership with the EU will be relaxed in a short time. This part of the loss can only be made up by raising the price. In addition, the unfavorable economic environment will increase the overall price of British goods, and the living expenses of international students will also increase.

As far as the actual situation is concerned, the referendum has little effect on individual study abroad behavior. First of all, "de-Europeanization" will not shake the current study abroad policy in Britain, nor will it increase the number of international students assigned to China; Secondly, the fluctuation of prices and tuition fees caused by the devaluation of the pound can offset each other to some extent.

Impact 4: Investment immigrants need to be cautious.

Brexit, it is estimated that British house prices fell by about 18%. At present, investors are not advised to buy real estate in the UK and make bottom-up investments. For investors who buy British real estate, they need to be cautious and wait for the local economic recovery to stabilize before making plans.

Britain is about to leave the European Union, and the pound will depreciate. The euro, which is closely linked to the pound and the euro, will suffer another setback, but this is good news for those who are ready to invest in Europe. Because it is the most "economical" to immigrate to Europe now! Take Portugal's policy of 500,000 euros as an example. After the exchange rate of euro against RMB falls, it can save 654.38+10,000 yuan or even more than 200,000 yuan.
