This study had nothing to do with future pensions. Granted, because the majority of the immigrants in these 10 years were young, they would not currently be claiming pensions, and some of the £600b drain will be from older native Britons' pensions. All the research says is that in these 10 years immigrants contributed to the economy, while natives drained it massively.
The social cost of native unemployment is nothing to do with immigration, it is to do with the companies that employ immigrants. As I said earlier, if they didn't have access to cheap labour, they wouldn't be as successful and would lose money or relocate, meaning less jobs. The solution to this would be to put more investment into education, so our native workers had similar education levels as immigrants.
The report also estimates that the influx of educated EU immigrants over the 10 years saved the taxpayer £8.5b in education costs, in addition to the £20b+ in taxes.
the cost of keeping a native brit on welfare who lost out on a potential minimum wage job to an immigrant is not going to be met by whatever taxes that immigrant pays. that immigrant has now become a drain on us all.
most manufacturing jobs that could be relocated to poor countries already have been. retail/service joke mcdonalds jobs are all that's left for unskilled school leavers and these employers cant exactly pick up and go to china. let them make do with the slightly slower , lazier british worker who demands his rights as they always did before the option of employing harder working desperate polacks existed.
one is not "educated" to do minimum wage jobs, thats why they pay minimum wage. and immigrants dont get them because of being educated, they get them because they work harder and ring in sick less.
Have you got a source that explains why the reason for these problems is definitely immigrants? While they may be contributing to the problem of low pay, I would say that the crony capitalism we've seen since 2008 has had a far greater effect on the general economy, sucking money from the poor and middle class to line the pockets of the rich and powerful. Also take into account that people are living longer, the austerity measures that have been introduced to try and keep the debt in check, and the fact that many UK jobs are low paid and service based.
no i havent got a source of a ceo admitting he's scrapping workers' benefits because he knows he has the option to replace them with immigrants if they leave. these aren't things people say out in the open, rather they talk about difficult economic conditions and the tightening of belts and such jargon
and there is no austerity. the national debt's doubled over the last parliament and both tory and labour have already ruled out cutting departments that could make a dent in it which are pensions and healthcare
