Britain risks driving away its highest-paid immigrants under new government plans to make it harder for people to settle permanently in the country. Fresh analysis suggests those earning the most are already the least likely to stay and stricter rules could make that problem significantly worse.
A report by the Migration Advisory Committee titled "Who Stays, Who Leaves?" tracked around 900,000 migration journeys between 2014 and 2024. The research was designed to help understand long-term migration patterns and their effects on labour shortages, population forecasts and public finances.
