In the Q2 2023 supplement of our Worldwide Immigration Trends Report, Fragomen’s Knowledge Group examined recent political, economic and cultural factors, offered projections about the future, and leveraged Fragomen’s unparalleled experience to help the business immigration community understand current immigration trends.
Part 2 (of 3) of this series examines the key theme of the how global competition for talent has brought about innovative immigration policies, answering questions that include:
-
-
- How are high-growth industries driving a shift from traditional immigration systems to skills-based systems?
- How do skills-based immigration systems allow employers to hire workers more quickly?
- Which industries are under stress due to workforce and skills shortages?
- Why are generalized degrees no longer a good proxy for skills in immigration systems and how are immigration programs adjusting to this change?
-
We encourage you to access this series, and the full report, to understand the current state of immigration—and how global immigration may change due to these trends over the next 12-18 months, and beyond.
