parliamentary information office: This is surely a moot point. It may be that, albeit at the present time,they cannot command and demand the money they were once used to. I hope it means that now there are places for graduates and people who are willing to work with what is required in current times.
parliamentary information office: This article and the report it was based on, are sheer political spin. They put a slant on the emigration figures that it is quite unjustified by the facts. No attempt was made to assess the reasons why the "scientists, academics and pharmacists" left the UK. Instead we are given run-of-the-mill right-wing arguments for cutting the tax take from high earners. But for anyone who knows about incomes of scientists and academics, it`s their low basic rate of pay that is the problem. The Office of National Statistics found that total reward for graduates was 6% lower in the public sector than the private sector. And George Osborne`s virtual freeze on public-sector pay since that assessment has meant the shortfall is now greater. I have long argued from experience in the North-east, that the professionals working for oil companies have total reward twice as great as their equivalents with similar degrees doing equally weighty jobs in the public sector. We now have some figures.
parliamentary information office: Good luck to those of you that want to better yourselves because their is not a lot on offer in The UK
parliamentary information office: Many people who emigrate do so because they do not want to bring their children up here as they have poorer chances of succeding as young adults. When I was in Canada recently, I met quite a few enterprising young Brits who had emigrated because they felt they had better chances than in the UK . The problem is that English being the universal language attracts educated and able youngsters from other European countries to come here to compete for university places and jobs. Our young people cannot emigrate to other European countries. How many speak Polish or Lithuanian? So its off to Canada and Oz . Its not so much a brain drain as being squeezed out. When can we leave the EU and call our country home again?
