Migrant and Employer Strategies post Brexit in an all-island economy

The Migrant and Employer Strategies post-Brexit project aims to provide a detailed analysis of the experiences, intentions and strategies of EU nationals and employers currently working or operating in Ireland and Northern Ireland, who have been impacted by the UK’s change in immigration policy precipitated by Brexit. Specifically, this research will seek to understand how immigration policy impacts on EU migrant workers decisions to migrate, settle or leave and employer’s enterprise level decisions around recruitment of nationalities, types and skills of workers. The project adopts a mixed methods approach, including quantitative secondary data analysis and in depth interviews with workers and a range of stakeholders including employers, trade unions and employer representatives.
