This is the warning of a joint study by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research and the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development prior to the first negotiation between Britain and the EU on Brexit. According to the report, Britain is likely to lack skillful workers and its economy may lose out if it ends the free movement of people from the EU without having a plan to attract laborers. The report said if the British government does not take a flexible immigration policy for EU citizens post-Brexit, a great number of British employers may expand the recruitment outside the country.
