Migration for work is a key part of employment in the UK, but it will change critically after Brexit, with significant restrictions being placed on migration into low-skilled jobs. Jobs in sectors such as food, care and warehousing have been identified as of high social value during the pandemic. The aim of this research is to examine how stakeholders in low-skilled sectors in the UK are responding to the changing regulation of migration. While there has been a wealth of economic analysis on the impact of Brexit on migration, research on stakeholder responses to changes is limited. We know little about how employers are adapting their human resource strategies, whether they are looking to employ migrant workers, the impact of new visa rule and how they are re-designing work or developing skills among the workforce. Little is known about how employers, workers, unions and other stakeholders engage in dialogue over the changing migration environment. Drawing on established frameworks around social dialogue in employment relations and applying these to the area of migration, our project provides innovative approaches to understanding this unprecedented transition in labour mobility. We will provide an analysis across 4 key sectors and will examine the experiences of a range of stakeholders, including employers, migrant and local workers, unions, local authorities, community groups and policy makers. The research is comprised of 3 inter-connected work packages, blending quantitative and qualitative methods and designed to ensure dialogue with stakeholders to jointly produce the project outcomes. In Work Package 1 a new survey will be carried, examining employer use of migrant labour, responses to the post-Brexit, pandemic context and employer perceptions and experiences of dialogue around migration. This will generate responses from 2000 employers nationally in Residential and Social Care, Hospitality, Food and Drink Processing and Warehousing. In Work package 2, we will capture the lived experiences and strategies of migrant and local workers, employers and other stakeholders within the Yorkshire and Humber region, undertaking 3 in-depth workplace-based case studies in each of our 4 sectors, with a total of 132 interviews. Alongside these, 20 interviews (5 per sector) will be conducted with recruitment agencies, skills bodies, employer organisations, civil society and migrant support groups. In Work Package 3, we will analyse sector-specific initiatives on managing the new migration environment, conducting 6 case studies of key initiatives. We will also undertake 8 participatory workshops bringing participants together to discuss issues around migration for work and its changing regulation. The research will be disseminated as early as possible, and will be designed to be of use for policy and practice in the areas of Human Resources, Recruitment, Trade Unions, Migrant Support, Skills, and Supply Chain Management. Key outputs will be: * Findings from a new survey in 4 key low-skill sectors on employer responses to the post-Brexit, post-pandemic context* Research findings from 12 case studies and sector-level stakeholder interviews* Research findings from interviews about sector-level initiatives* Summary briefings for external partners, participants and wider networks * A final report and policy briefing for regional and national policy makers * 6 single and co* User friendly resources tailored to different stakeholders (e.g. managing the transition booklets for HR practitioners, know your rights pamphlets for unions) * A Seminar/Webinar series co-delivered with partners* 200 fully transcribed interviews, plus transcripts of stakeholder and workshops, prepared for archiving* A final event in Westminster presenting key findings and discussing way forward for policy makers with external partners, academic beneficiaries and international advisor* 6 academic articles in international journals

工作移民是英国就业的一个关键部分，但在英国退欧后，这一情况将发生重大变化，对低技能工作的移民将受到重大限制。在大流行期间，食品、护理和仓储等部门的工作被认为具有很高的社会价值。这项研究的目的是研究如何在英国低技能部门的利益相关者正在应对不断变化的移民法规。虽然有大量关于英国脱欧对移民影响的经济分析，但关于利益相关者对变化的反应的研究有限。我们对雇主如何调整其人力资源战略知之甚少，他们是否希望雇用移民工人，新签证规则的影响以及他们如何重新设计工作或发展劳动力技能。关于雇主、工人、工会和其他利益攸关方如何就不断变化的移徙环境进行对话，人们知之甚少。利用围绕就业关系社会对话的既定框架，并将其应用于移民领域，我们的项目提供了创新方法，以理解劳动力流动的这一前所未有的转变。我们将对4个关键部门进行分析，并将研究一系列利益相关者的经验，包括雇主，移民和当地工人，工会，地方当局，社区团体和政策制定者。该研究由3个相互关联的工作包组成，融合了定量和定性方法，旨在确保与利益相关者进行对话，共同产生项目成果。在工作包1中，将进行一项新的调查，审查雇主对移民劳动力的使用，对英国脱欧后的反应，大流行背景以及雇主对移民对话的看法和经验。这将从全国2 000名居住和社会护理、酒店、食品和饮料加工及仓储业的雇主那里得到答复。在工作包2中，我们将捕捉约克郡和亨伯地区的移民和当地工人，雇主和其他利益相关者的生活经验和战略，在我们的4个部门中的每个部门进行3次深入的基于工作场所的案例研究，共132次访谈。此外，还将与招聘机构、技能机构、雇主组织、民间社会和移民支持团体进行20次面试（每个部门5次）。在工作包3中，我们将分析管理新移民环境的具体行业举措，并对关键举措进行6个案例研究。我们还将举办8个参与式讲习班，使参与者聚集在一起，讨论围绕工作移民及其不断变化的法规的问题。这项研究将尽早分发，并将用于人力资源、招聘、工会、移民支助、技能和供应链管理等领域的政策和实践。主要产出将是：* 在4个主要低技能行业进行的一项新调查的结果，内容是雇主对英国退欧后、疫情后环境的反应 * 来自12个案例研究和行业层面利益相关者访谈的研究结果 * 来自行业层面举措访谈的研究结果 * 为外部合作伙伴提供的简要简报，* 为区域和国家决策者编写的最后报告和政策简报 * 6个单一和共同 * 为不同利益攸关方量身定制的用户友好型资源 * 与合作伙伴共同举办研讨会/网络研讨会系列 * 200次访谈的完整记录，以及利益攸关方和讲习班的记录，准备存档 * 在威斯敏斯特举行最后一次活动，介绍主要调查结果，并与外部合作伙伴讨论决策者的前进方向，* 在国际期刊上发表6篇学术文章
