Download or read book A Points based System written by Great Britain: Home Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-03-07 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document sets out the Governments proposals for a new points-based approach to managing the flow of migrants coming to the UK to work or study. Whilst it is generally agreed that migration makes a substantial contribution to economic growth, fills gaps in the labour market, and increases investment, innovation and entrepreneurship, and enriches cultural diversity, it needs to be managed. The Government proposes a five-tier framework, to help people understand how the system works and to direct applicants to the category that is most appropriate for them. The tiers are: (1) highly skilled individuals to contribute to growth and productivity; (2) skilled workers with a job offer to fill gaps in the UK labour force; (3) limited numbers of low skilled workers needed to fill specific temporary labour shortages; (4) students; (5) youth mobility and temporary workers, people allowed to work in the UK for a limited period of time to satisfy primarily non-economic objectives. For each tier applicants will need sufficient points to obtain entry clearance or leave to remain in the UK. Points will be awarded according to objective and transparent criteria, giving a structured decision-making process. Applicants in tiers 2 to 5 will need a certificate of sponsorship. The Government aims for a system that better identifies and attracts migrants who have most to offer the UK; is more efficient, transparent and objective; and that improves compliance and reduces the scope for abuse.

Download or read book The Making of Latin London written by Patria Roman-Velazquez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how Latin American people and cultural practices have moved from one continent to another, and specifically to London. How do Latin Americans experience such a process and what part do different people play in the re-making of Latin identities in the neighbourhoods, parks, bars and dance clubs of London? Through a critical engagement with theories of globalization, the geography of power, cultural identity and the transformation of places, the book explores how the formation of Latin identities is directly related to wider social, economic and political processes. Drawing on the voices of migrant peoples, community activists, shop owners, sports organizers, club owners, dancers, dance teachers, musicians and disc jockeys, the book argues that the micro movements of people - through a shopping mall or across a dance floor in a club - are directly connected to global processes involving the regulated movement of citizens, sounds and images across national boundaries and through cities.
Download or read book The cancellation of Bicester Accommodation Centre written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-11-08 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NAO report examines the Government's decision in June 2005 to cancel plans for a new purpose-built accommodation centre at Bicester, which was to have been built as part of a pilot accommodation programme for people seeking asylum in the UK. This programme, announced in October 2001, was seen as a way of making the asylum process more efficient, by housing asylum seekers onsite during the whole application process from initial arrival through to decision and possible appeal. The decision was taken in light of significant local opposition to the centre which delayed the planning process, the success of other initiatives to speed up the processing of asylum applications and a fall in the number of people claiming asylum in the UK. By the end of March 2007, the Home Office had spent about £33 million on the accommodation project, of which £28 million related to Bicester. The NAO report makes a number of recommendations for departments planning similar projects in order to identify key risks to successful delivery and project management. These include the need for departments to identify in the business case the impact of a range of planning delays on cost and delivery for schemes that require planning permission using a range of scenarios; to ensure the necessary co-ordination of the process takes place at a sufficiently senior level to effect proper control; and to include only realisable benefits in cost benefit analyses.
Download or read book Chinatown in Britain written by Wai-ki Luk and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on Chinese immigration in the past two decades and its spatial manifestations in Britain. A major argument in this study is that if the 1980s can be recorded as a turning point in the history of Chinese immigration to Britain because the decade marked a substantial increase in and a diversity of Chinese immigrants, it should also be considered a landmark in contemporary British urban history as it featured a major transformation in the Chinese urban landscape. This book examines how changes in the contexts of exit and reception have stimulated quantitative and qualitative changes in Chinese immigration, and how these changes in immigration facilitate the development of Chinatowns and Chinese settlements.

Download or read book Student visas written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-03-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report from the Home Affairs Select Committee cautions the Government against introducing measures which could damage the UK's thriving educational export sector. The Committee remains concerned that a number of the Government proposals could have serious unintended consequences. International students make up 10% of first degree students and over 40% of postgraduate students at UK universities. The international student market, estimated to be worth £40 billion to the UK economy is a significant growth market and the UK is the second most popular destination in the world for international students. The Committee's findings include: the importance of the Post-Study Work route in attracting students to the UK and disagrees with the Government proposal to close it; it suggests alternatives to the Government's proposals on language requirements, specifically a permanent change to the parameters of the student visitor visa so that it can be used as a viable route for all of those attending pre-degree programmes; it supports the Government's proposals to tighten the accreditation of language schools but is concerned that Government approval of the current accreditation bodies has lapsed. The Committee calls for a single streamlined accreditation system and agrees that any cap on student visas is unnecessary and undesirable; the Committee also notes that progress has been made on closing down bogus language schools and supports the Government's intention to crack down on bogus colleges and bogus students but it is not persuaded that students are migrants, as defined by the UN and suggests that students ought to be excluded from net migration numbers. The Committee also raises concerns that the data used in assessing migration figures are not fit for purpose and could inhibit effective policy making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deze studie ontwikkelt een geheel nieuwe benadering van het vraagstuk: Hoe wordt migratie- en integratiebeleid in tien Europese landen gemaakt?

The contributors are both world-renowned scholars and newer voices and include scholars, practitioners, former judges and researchers and policy-makers who are currently working for international organisations.
