2019~2020年后脱欧时代的英国国际人才政策

Abstract:During 2019-2020，the UK in the Brexit transition period issued its reform plan on visas and immigration system. In coping with British new industrial strategy，research and development roadmap and international education strategy under the government’s vision for “Global Britain”，the new visa policy and immigration system set out the framework of British global talent policy in the post-Brexit era which included four aspects. Firstly，the UK continued to expand its opening to global leaders and top talents of various areas. It introduced the new Global Talent visa and other service support policies. Secondly，by means of the EU Settlement Scheme and free trade agreement negotiations，the UK intended to attract and retain talents of different types from some key regions such as Europe and Commonwealth countries. Thirdly，the UK announced the new point-based immigration system to attract the high-skilled and middle-skilled workers from all over the world. The UK-EU free movement of persons would come to an end. The government’s policy on introducing international talents has changed from controlling the number of immigrants to managing the quality of immigrants. Lastly，the UK regarded international students as a talent pool. The post-study work visa was re-introduced and promoted. In general，the UK in the post-Brexit period which had “taken back control” of its border continued to make its global talent policy in the traditional pragmatic view. The reform of the UK’s visas and immigration system would push the global talent policy to develop in a fine-grained direction，but how to adapt to the shifts in the macro-environment would become a severe challenge for the development of British global talent policy.
