UK - Labour market access





Migrants are eligible to access the labour market through provisions that score halfway to best practice. They can enjoy equal access to employment in most sectors like EU citizens, but not to self-employment. Migrants have slightly favourable security as workers, as they can renew all but seasonal work permits. They are not, however, supported by favourable labour market integration measures to improve their employability. Although the state helps them to get their skills and qualifications recognised, it does not set national policy targets to further integration or allow migrants equal access to vocational training and study grants. Once they find jobs, migrants enjoy favourable workers' rights such as the right to join trade unions and to change their employer, job or profession after less than one year of legal employment.
