Skilled Immigration Program
The European Commission asserts that Europe is lagging behind in the
global race for attracting world’s most talented and skilled, that’s why it
has included several actions to be undertaken in its proposal for a new
Migration Pact in order to attract more bright people from third-countries
to live and work in the EU.
The new pact, which was presented on Wednesday by the EU Commission
president Ursula von der Leyen, Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, and Home
Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson, intends to update the EU regulations on
regular migration to make it easier for more skilled migrants to come to
Europe.
“The EU is currently losing the global race for talent. Other OECD
countries, such as the USA, Canada, and Australia, are attracting more
talent from abroad. The Impact of Demographic Change in Europe report shows
that Europe has an ageing and shrinking population and skills shortages that
need to be addressed,” Commission’s webpage on the New Pact on Migration and
Asylum notes.
According to the Commission, a credible legal migration and integration
policy would benefit the European societies and economies. That is why the
Commission has foreseen several actions which should be undertaken by the EU
bodies and the Member States in order to ensure that the 27 EU countries
attract the world’s brightest and most skilled.
