Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this project is to analyse interacting relationships between the labour market policy on non-British born workers and the employment policy on the second generation of immigrants in post-war Britain. The research shows that temporary migrant workers from Europe had been as indispensable as migrants from the New Commonwealth both before and after Britain’s joining into the then EEC. On the other hand, the second generation of the New Commonwealth immigrants had started to join labour market from c.1970 and many of them faced unemployment. The British Government in later 1970s and early 1980s tried to recruit those unemployed youth into industries which had depended heavily on migrants and foreign workers through training schemes for the young unemployed, such as the Youth Opportunity Programme, Their attempts were unsuccessful because the Government had been disregard of crux of so-called labour shortages of certain industries, low pay and unsocial working times.
