CBI Claims Immigrants Important To Economy Of UK

The Confederation of British Industry (which is also known as the CBI) has been studying the current trends in the United Kingdom. The CBI is an organization in the country that is made up of businesses. This group looks into the industry that it is in and checks just what could affect it in the long run. At present, it looks like the plan of the country to exit the European Union and have strict control over immigration could actually affect businesses in the country, and thus also affect the country’s economy.

The CBI has continued that if the government does not allow the entrance of immigrants to the country like the situation at present, businesses in the country just may suffer. Business owners are more than happy to share that they have seen the huge contribution that these immigrants have with their businesses and the success that they are enjoying at the moment. With the businesses flourishing, the country’s economy also is gaining strength.

The need for immigrants

Carolyn Fairbairn is currently CBI’s director general. On the issue, she says that the country should not just go with the 100,000 individuals goal that is the aim once the country goes through with the exit from the EU. 100,000 is too random, she claims, and so she claims that it is important that the country’s branch on immigration should have a system that would actually be flexible on the needs of the country for immigrants especially when it comes to the need for workers. This idea is pretty much a good idea and is quite a good solution. That way, the country’s economy does not suffer.

Fairbairn is also keen to share that the government should be able to look into this matter. After all, the government should also be able to recognize that the country is based on an economy that provides services. It is the people who actually bring in the strength to the economy through the work that they do. Take out the people out of the equation and you get a shaky economy that may crumble at the slightest touch. Of course, this is something that the country can prevent if they do take a look at the situation at hand.

Flexibility is key

The present immigration policies are really quite good as they are able to provide the manpower that the country needs to keep its businesses growing and developing. The economy is happy because of this. That is why it is essential that the country continues to work on policies that would be able to assist the economy in the best way possible. A flexible policy would really be a great thing and would benefit the United Kingdom a lot.

One billion people crossed international borders in 2012

In 2012, one billion people made an international trip, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. David Scowsill of the WTTC said 'this is an astounding milestone. There is an inexorable growth in the number of people who want to travel around the world'.


Most of these journeys will be for the purpose of leisure and tourism. France and the USA are the most popular tourist destinations though there is also strong growth in tourism around the world. Though the overall numbers are still low, there has been considerable growth in the tourism industry in countries such as Guatemala, Ivory Coast and The Dominican Republic.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, the top five travel destinations are

1. Paris
2. London
3. New York
4. Anatalya, Turkey
5. Singapore

210,000,000 migrants globally

It is also clear that the numbers of migrants globally have increased enormously in recent years. The World Economic Forum and the United Nations believe that 3% of the world's population; around 210,000,000 people, are migrants.


But many more would like to leave their homeland for a new life. A recent Gallup poll found that 13% of the world's adult population – around 640,000,000 people would like to emigrate.


150,000,000 would like to go to the US alone. There is no one reason why people want to emigrate. The Gallup poll suggested that a great many wanted to emigrate to countries in North America and Europe in order to find economic opportunity.


Often, it would seem that poor conditions at home give people an incentive to emigrate while existing relationships between countries may help potential émigrés to decide where they want to go. This point is illustrated by the case of Liberia.


Liberia has a population of about 4,100,000. It is a desperately poor country with the third lowest per capita income in the world. It has also been riven by civil war since 1989. It is placed 174th out of 186 countries on the Human Development Index, which measures the quality of life around the world. It is therefore not surprising that many Liberians want to emigrate. But, there is a particular reason why 37% of Liberia's population, some 1,500,000 people want to emigrate to the USA. This can be explained by the strong links between the two countries. Liberia was settled by large numbers of freed slaves from the US from 1820 onwards and has been the recipient of a great deal of US aid since the Second World War.
