Retail In UK Can Go Down With Controlled Immigration

There have been individuals and groups who were all for choosing to taking back the control over the borders of the United Kingdom. For them, immigration to the country has brought about a huge number of issues to the country and they would like that to stop. However, it is highly important to keep in mind that though there may be issues, immigration to the UK has also brought about benefits and these benefits are very important in keeping several industries in the country running smoothly.

According to the Office for National Statistics, or more commonly known as the ONS, the official branch of the United Kingdom government that works with data and numbers, if immigration is controlled and the number of immigrants are limited to a really low number, the retail industry of the country could actually go down and that would not be beneficial for the whole country. This industry should include wholesale businesses as well as restaurants. This is as per a statement that they had sent out last 12th of April this year.

The results of a survey

As per the ONS, they had decided to study the phenomenon that is known as UK immigration. They did their own research and worked out the numbers that they had acquired during the survey that they had done. They focused on the country’s work force. As per the results, there were some 761,000 individuals working in the retail industry back in the year 2016 in the country who were not natural-born Britons. Of the total, 508,000 individuals actually came from a variety of countries who are part of the European Union. There were around 27 countries that these workers came from.

With that, it is essential to keep in mind that the number of workers that really do provide assistance to the country’s retail industry and the country’s economy is huge. Take out immigration of the equation and the country can definitely have to go through a rough time picking up the pieces. These immigrants play a huge role in how the country runs especially when it comes to labor.

Stopping the negative effects

Of course, learning about the story that comes with the numbers, there has been a move from retailers to make sure that this does not happen to the country. Retailers from the United Kingdom have a trade association and this is the British Retail Consortium. The group has been working on sending out word that they are not going to be happy if this happens and so to avoid it, they are asking the government of the country to make the right moves.

If the right move is made, then it would be good for the country and the retail industry (and the rest of the country) would be thankful for the government for making sure that immigration is not affected so as to make sure that the economy also isn’t.
