The creation of a residence permit for occupations in tension, in full debate in the National Assembly within the framework of the immigration bill, attracts its share of defenders and opponents. But what do migration policies look like in our European neighbours? Decryption by Europe 1.
The National Assembly debates the immigration bill proposed by the government on Tuesday. One of the challenges of this bill is the creation of a residence permit for shortage occupations, ie sectors experiencing labor shortages. The right and the extreme right denounce a call for air. In our European neighbours, the policy in this area varies greatly.
Point systems among the Germans and the English
In Spain, illegal immigrants who have been present for at least two years in the territory can legally find a job in sectors in tension such as the hotel industry or agriculture. In our German neighbours, the government has just presented its immigration bill with a points system: a foreigner experienced in a job in tension who speaks German can be welcomed even without a promise of employment and stay there for up to a year. to look for work. In Britain, Brexit has exacerbated the labor shortage. More than a million jobs are to be filled. The allocation of work visas is based on a point system. To obtain them, you must know how to speak English and justify a job offer paid above the minimum wage of 30,000 euros per year.
Finally, Italian agriculture and industry are sorely lacking in manpower. The employers are calling on Giorgia Meloni to increase the annual quotas of authorized non-EU workers. An unlikely measure given the anti-migrant political line of the President of the Council.
