The Coronavirus pandemic has led to increases in retirement and long-term sickness, and Brexit and the pandemic together have led to a reduction in the number of EU workers in the UK. Together, these changes amount to a large reduction in the size of the workforce, which is the primary reason for difficulties faced by employers in most sectors recruiting staff since the ending of 'lockdown', as well as issue of pay and conditions and their geographical and social inequalities.Little is known about the uneven geography across the UK in these sources of reductions in the workforce in driving the sharpest rises in job vacancies in rural areas and some London boroughs, precisely the areas most dependent on foreign labour. This information is important in designing policies to effectively address "Levelling Up" the economic fortunes of different parts of the UK, with some places short of workers, at least in the short term; and others short of jobs, in particular well-paid jobs. The UK Government has promised a transformation to a high-wage economy following Brexit, predicated on the view that reduced labour supply will stimulate investment and innovation to raise productivity, and that the UK has become locked-in to a low-cost economic model dependent on cheap international labour. The research will produce new datasets as the latest evidence becomes available, including the 2021 Census of Population, analysis and insights to assess this claim and its geography, by examining links between local changes to local labour demand, supply, wages, productivity and unemployment.More generally, the research will better understand the impact of Brexit and the pandemic on local labour markets and local economies in different parts of the UK, to inform planning for future economic resilience to 'shocks', and to assess the effectiveness of the UK new immigration policy in meeting labour demand and skills shortages in all parts of the UK.

冠状病毒疫情导致退休及长期患病人数增加，而英国脱欧及疫情共同导致英国的欧盟工人人数减少。总之，这些变化相当于劳动力规模的大幅减少，这是自“封锁”结束以来，大多数行业的雇主在招聘员工时面临困难的主要原因，以及薪酬和工作条件及其地理和社会不平等的问题。人们对英国各地在这些导致劳动力减少的原因中的地理不平衡知之甚少，农村地区和伦敦一些行政区的职位空缺，而这些地区恰恰是最依赖外国劳动力的地区。这一信息对于制定政策以有效解决“拉平”联合王国不同地区的经济财富非常重要，一些地方缺乏工人，至少在短期内如此;另一些地方缺乏工作，特别是高薪工作。英国政府承诺在脱欧后向高工资经济转型，其前提是劳动力供应减少将刺激投资和创新以提高生产力，而英国已陷入依赖廉价国际劳动力的低成本经济模式。随着最新证据的出现，该研究将产生新的数据集，包括2021年人口普查，分析和见解，以评估这一主张及其地理位置，通过研究当地变化与当地劳动力需求，供应，工资，生产力和失业之间的联系。该研究将更好地了解英国脱欧和疫情对英国不同地区当地劳动力市场和当地经济的影响，为未来经济抵御“冲击”的规划提供信息，并评估英国新移民政策在满足英国各地劳动力需求和技能短缺方面的有效性。
