ILPA blog looks at limited take-up of economic routes for growth
Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA) has published a blog post by Nelli Shevchenko, Senior Associate in at Sherrards Solicitors LLP, examining several of the UK’s economic migration routes which are aimed at stimulating economic growth, but which have seen little take-up to date. The analysis looks at the Innovator Founder, Scale-up and Global Business Mobility (GBM) Service Supplier Secondment Worker, and Expansion Worker routes. While the Skilled Worker and Global Talent routes have seen widespread adoption, these newer routes have struggled to attract applicants. Shevchenko looks at the reasons for this in each case, and suggests some recommendations for change.
