Tracking Public Attitudes Preferences Post

项目摘要

How are public attitudes towards foreign-born labour changing, and how can they inform policymaking which supports national recovery efforts across employment sectors and geographic regions? Public opinion research, which shows how major events sometimes contribute to shifts in attitudes, is key for understanding changes in the social and economic fabric of a country. Tracking attitudes' composition across groups and places, as well as dynamics over time, can contribute to more effective migration and labour market policies that reflect public understandings and preferences. This is especially true in the current crisis: COVID-19 has already motivated changes in political and media discussions about migrant workers, especially towards those in key occupations that are now considered fundamental to the country's response to the pandemic. Migrant workers comprise sizable shares of these occupations, and, crucially, many have jobs deemed 'low-skilled' that would not have qualified for work visas under current labour migration policies. Shifts in media and political narratives could reflect-or indeed cause-deeper shifts in public opinion towards migrant labour at all skill levels. However, we still do not know the magnitude of this change, whether it is homogeneous across different regions and sectors of the population, and whether it is short lived or the beginning of a longer-lasting shift. Addressing these questions as post-pandemic events unfold-and as the government has re-introduced its proposed Immigration Bill with modifications-will be crucial for understanding the transformation of the UK's society and economy due to COVID-19.

公众对外国出生劳动力的态度如何变化？它们如何为支持国家就业部门和地理区域复苏努力的政策制定提供信息？舆论研究表明重大事件有时如何导致态度转变，是了解一个国家社会和经济结构变化的关键。跟踪不同群体和地点的态度构成以及随时间的动态，有助于制定更有效的移民和劳动力市场政策，反映公众的理解和偏好。在当前的危机中尤其如此：COVID-19 已经引发了有关移民工人的政治和媒体讨论的变化，特别是针对目前被认为对国家应对这一流行病至关重要的关键职业的移民工人。移民工人在这些职业中占相当大的比例，而且最重要的是，许多人从事的工作被视为“低技能”，根据当前的劳务移民政策，这些工作不符合获得工作签证的资格。媒体和政治叙事的转变可能反映——或者实际上导致——公众舆论对所有技能水平的移民劳工的更深层次的转变。然而，我们仍然不知道这种变化的幅度有多大，它是否在不同地区和人群中是同质的，以及它是短暂的还是更持久的转变的开始。随着大流行后事件的展开，以及政府重新推出经过修改的拟议移民法案，解决这些问题对于理解 COVID-19 导致的英国社会和经济转型至关重要。
