Europe needs immigration more if he wants to remain competitive, says two members of the European Commission.
In an article written by Malmstr?m Cecilia L?szl? Andor and European Commissioners, the authors state that there is shortage of skills in many areas of the European labour market, including science, health, agriculture, engineering and tourism – is the fact that the EU continues to experience high unemployment desptie.
"These deficits will increase and spread rapidly in other areas because of the serious demographic challenges of the European Union," the authors state.
Malmstr?m and andor as early as 2013, the working-age population will begin to decline in the EU, Eurostat projections, which suggests that the EU labour will reduce as much as 50 million over the next 50 years.
Malmstr?m and andor are quick to point out that the EU should not 50 million immigrants and reducing the existing unemployment should be a priority. However, they believe that increased skilled immigration should play an important role in combating the problem.
For example, they say give recent reports suggest that the European economy will need between 700,000 and 384,000 computer workers by 2015 and by 2020, between one and two million health care workers.
"Even with the best policies, it is highly unlikely unlikely that it could find all these resources at the Union," said authors.
"At the same time global competition for manpower increase", they added. "If Europe wants to maintain its position in the global marketplace, we must make our labour market more attractive for potential migrants."
The European Commission has been proactive trying to encourage immigration more qualified in the European Union. The European Union intends to implement a "blue card" allowing citizens non - EU who live and work in the 27-Member bloc. The recent article by two prominent members of the European Union will it hopes to accelerate the implementation of EU-wide immigration plan.
