Summary
The UK government plans to extend the wait for permanent residency (ILR) for care workers to up to 15 years as part of efforts to reduce migration. Employers and economists warn this will make Britain less attractive than countries like Australia and Canada, worsening staff shortages in a sector already reliant on foreign workers. The government cites fiscal costs and fraud concerns, but critics argue the policy may harm recruitment, trigger worker departures, and have broader negative impacts across the economy.
