Estimados foreros:

La "bestia proteccionista" se extiende cual mancha de aceite. Si hasta ahora eran los pringados sin formación los primeros en levantar el espantajo, ahora el Gobienno de Su Majestad sale al rescate de los "titulitis" britanos:

"AHORA TOCA TRABAJOS BRITÁNICOS PARA LICENCIADOS BRITÁNICOS"

"El Gobierno podría restrigir el número de migrantes de alta cualificación autorizados a instalarse en el Reino Unido debido a que los ministros temen que muchos de los licenciados de la cifra récord de 400.000 que abandonarán la universidad este verano, fracasen en encontrar trabajo debido a la recesión."

The Government may restrict the number of highly skilled migrants allowed into Britain because ministers fear many of the record 400,000 graduates leaving university this summer will fail to find work in the recession.

Phil Woolas, the Immigration minister, wants to tighten the points-based system for people from outside the EU so they do not take jobs that might otherwise go to British graduates. Between 10,000 and 18,000 well-qualified foreigners are expected to come to the UK this year to look for work without having a job lined up.

Mr Woolas told The Independent: "The points-based system that has been introduced allows us to toughen the criteria, and clearly in the economic situation that is something it is beholden on us to do. We want to maintain the highest possible levels of British graduate employment."

The proposal has been under consideration for some weeks and ministers insist it is not a reaction to the row over the recruitment of foreign workers at the Lindsey oil refinery in Lincolnshire. However, it is bound to be seen as an attempt to ensure "British jobs for British graduates".

Under the recently introduced points system (which Mr Woolas proposes tightening), highly skilled people from outside the EU, such as scientists, IT specialists, lawyers, financial service workers and entrepreneurs can enter Britain to search for work. Normally graduates, they can stay initially for two years.The Home Office estimates they could boost the economy by up to £84m a year.

Government sources said Mr Woolas's plan was "one option" under consideration but that no final decision has been taken. It could face opposition from John Denham, the Skills Secretary, who is believed to think there is no need to change the points system since it already takes account of possible skills shortages.

However, the Government is under pressure from MPs to tighten the rules because of the downturn. Labour's Frank Field and the Conservatives' Nicholas Soames, who have set up a cross-party group on balanced migration, have written to Gordon Brown, asking him to act. They said the new points system would allow tens of thousands of highly skilled people to come to Britain looking for work. "We believe that, in a recession, this cannot be allowed to continue," the two MPs said. "We should not be allowing non-EU economic migrants to look for work."

The Woolas plan will be discussed by cabinet ministers as they draw up a package of measures on immigration over the next few weeks. Other ideas include forcing employers who hire skilled workers to advertise the posts at Jobcentres before they look abroad. This could affect between 60,000 and 80,000 jobs in construction, hotel management, teaching and nursing.

Last night, experts said there could be short-term political and economic attractions in curbing the number of foreign graduates, but warned that it could be counterproductive in the long run. Tim Field, head of migration, equalities and citizenship at the Institute for Public Policy Research, said the points system might prove an "inflexible" tool. "These are people every country wants," he said. "This would send a signal to others. Putting others off from applying might not be a good idea."

Other government proposals include a crackdown on "bogus" colleges which allow non-EU students to come to Britain as a backdoor means of immigration, and tighter checks on foreign students so they do not overstay.

Mr Denham has outlined plans to persuade British firms to take on graduates as "interns" in the hope that they will keep on the best and brightest so their companies are in a stronger position after the recession.

As the Government sought to raise the proportion of young people going into higher education to 50 per cent, the number of graduates rose from 206,000 in 1997 to 358,000 in 2007. The proportion of graduates in "non-degree level" jobs five years after leaving university has risen too.

John Cridland, deputy director general of the CBI, said companies were already cutting the number of migrant workers they recruit because of the recession. He believed the Government's Migration Advisory Committee would suggest that fewer migrants from outside the EU would be needed when it next reports. He expected "they will not see the same need for non-EU labour in the same numbers because of the need to provide as many employment opportunities as possible for the unemployed". He added: "All I'm suggesting is that the market will correct itself but what we cannot avoid is a significant increase in unemployment which is a sad but inevitable consequence of recessions."

From sociology to gas fitting: Three students look to the future

Graeme Waddell, 30

Criminology and sociology, Stirling University

I have been toying with the idea of doing a postgraduate course in social work but I need to know my results before I can consider this. I have also been considering learning a skilled trade as I'm worried my degree might not be worth anything in these uncertain times. I hope I haven't wasted the past few years as a student, when I would have been better off becoming a plumber or a gas fitter, where there are more opportunities. My student loan does not worry me as I am used to being in debt. My friends are going to Amsterdam when we graduate but I'll stay here looking for a job.

Helen Cook, 23

For a newly qualified physiotherapist the situation in Scotland is pretty hopeless – the NHS has been useless in creating new posts. I think I will travel to India next year. Hopefully I can volunteer in a hospital to gain experience. A lot of people on my course (five out of 40) are getting posts in New Zealand – they have a great scheme where they train you, sort out your visas and so on. When I do look for a job, I don't think I'll find it easy, partly because I will be quite picky. I'm not thinking I will have to take anything because of the credit crunch. I think graduates will still be picky and hold out for what they want.

Franck Martin, 22

Politics, University of Glasgow

It couldn't be a worse time to be a graduate. I'm going to try and stay out of the job market for at least a year or two as there are so few jobs available for graduates now. I will do some work experience and keep on with my work stacking shelves part time at Tesco so I earn enough money for a postgraduate degree in either public policy or journalism. I would like to work in the media but the civil service appeals because of the job security it provides. My brother works in the civil service and he says their graduate schemes are more popular than ever.

El Gobierno britanico, adalid de la antiglobalizacion. Esa es mi interpretacion.

Pues es como pasar de numerario del opus dei a ateo follacabras no????

Hilo "britanófobo" del día.

A los "ingenieros" que pensaban ir de emigrantes a "yunaite kindon".

GAME OVER

¡¡GIBRALTAR ANDALÚ PA SIEMPRE SIEMPRE!!

Normal y lógico. Cuando las cosas nos van bien, el proteccionismo estorba. Y cuando vienen mal dadas, todo hijo de vecino quiere su colchón.

Y son posiciones defendidas desde muchas situaciones distintas: aquí tenemos empresarios (camioneros) pidiendo medidas proteccionistas, como la prohibición del dumping, y trabajadores pidiendo medidas liberalizadoras (como todos los que opinamos que habría que recortar el número de funcionarios de las distintas administraciones).

Así que ahora es lo que toca. Cuando pase la crisis, estos mismos querrán que sus proveedores contraten paquistaníes para abaratar costes.

El problema puede venir si este proteccionismo se mezcla con política y nacionalismo. Las próximas elecciones en España, tras la entrada masiva de inmigrantes en la última década, con el paro en escalada libre y el aumento de la delincuencia, pueden darnos sorpresas desagradables...
