  2. CEE: Labour migration on the rise.

    Central and Eastern European countries (CEE) have moved at breakneck speed from developing to developed market status in the 19 years since their EU accession.

    This brings serious investment, but also some of the afflictions of Western economies: aging populations, labour shortages, fast-rising wages and the need for labour immigration.

  3. Europe is facing a shortage of skilled workers. The Basque experience could be the answer.

    Although no region is absolutely alike, there are lessons that can be adopted and scaled from the Basque model as EU member states prepare for the next wave of economic uncertainty and consequent clamour for talent.

  4. Construction jobs have been added to the UK government’s “shortage occupation list”, making it easier for foreign builders to come to Britain amid labour shortages partly caused by Brexit.

    The government has relaxed visa restrictions for a number of sectors that face severe worker shortages, and has added bricklayers and masons; roofers, roof tilers and slaters; carpenters and joiners; plasterers and other construction workers to the list.

  5. A leading Tory Brexiter has called on ministers to reopen the UK’s borders to tens of thousands of young workers from EU nations in order to tackle acute post-Brexit labour shortages that he says are driving up inflation.

    George Eustice, a former environment minister, is calling for a reciprocal visa scheme so that under-35s can work across the EU and Britain.

  6. German parliament passed a new immigration law to tackle the shortage of skilled workers. It's designed to encourage more people from outside the European Union to come to Germany for work.

    A major new innovation under the law is a new "opportunity card" and its associated points system.

    A prerequisite for receiving a card will be a vocational qualification or university degree.
