Introducing the Labour Mobility In Transition project

In this introductory episode, Dr Gabriella Alberti and Dr Jo Cutter talk about their three-year research project investigating the impact of the post-Brexit regulation migration for work on the UK labour market. The project looks at how employers and workers shape these mobility transitions and how they engage in dialogue with each other and with other stakeholders. It also considers how COVID-19 has impacted these transitions and dialogue.
