One of the most publicized topics in the press today is Brexit.

After the vote on June 23, 2016, in which 51.89% of participants voted to leave the European Union of the United Kingdom, the world was divided. It represents a historical moment according to which the fate of Europeans on the labor market and not only will depend. Immigration has been cited many times as a major reason why Britons voted to leave the EU.

So far, issues related to immigrants are not at all certain, as the details of leaving the EU are unknown. There are rumors that they will not change much because the UK needs them, given that they largely support the British economy.

The issue of immigrants worries the entire European community, and negotiations will be extremely tough and will take quite some time.

SO, what happens to Romanians who are already there or to those who immigrate in the next two years?

Prime Minister Theresa May says she will maintain freedom of movement in the EU, but pro-Brexit politicians want to introduce a work permit, deciding how many immigrants are admitted per year, provided they have a solid job offer. . Another idea is to grant work permits differently depending on the work sector. The British probably want immigrants to no longer benefit from the health care system, but to contribute to the tax system. Which will be intensely negotiated by both parties.

For the time being, nothing has changed in the labor market, as the British still need the European labor force, mainly from Eastern Europe, and most likely, conditions will be better for those who immigrate to the UK in the next two years. until the finalization of the exit agreement from the EU, than for those who will want to take this step after. So now is the time to change jobs.

The budget responsibility office says immigration is critical to reducing the fiscal impact of an aging population. The same report anticipates that demand in construction, social care and health care will be around 47,000 employees per year. In the HORECA field (waiter, cook, bartender, maid) there will be around 60,000 per year. Even in the field of agriculture, the need for immigrants is expected. Overall, the British industry will need at least 100,000 immigrants a year.

Theresa May also said that UK residents should bring their family before Brexit, trying to suggest that things will change quite a bit. But it remains to be seen what and how. We will come back with details as they appear.
