Abstract

The purpose of this study is to:

 develop further understanding of whether and why demand for migrant labour persists in low skilled sectors of the UK economy; and
 provide further evidence on the factors that affect the supply of labour to low skilled sectors

Following an initial literature review, the study adopted a case study approach, focusing on low-skilled roles in the construction and accommodation and food services sectors in the West Midlands. It involved interviews with employers, recruitment agencies, migrant workers, British workers in low-skilled roles, British born job seekers on out-of-work benefits with no/ low qualifications and stakeholders.
