Original: UK immigration crackdown threatens £15 billion care sector as two African nations account for 120,692 visa extensions
The UK government's tightening of immigration rules is putting pressure on its £15 billion social care sector, which relies heavily on foreign workers. Reports highlight that two African nations account for 120,692 visa extensions, underscoring how dependent the care workforce is on overseas staff. Commentators warn that restricting these visas could worsen staffing shortages across care homes and home-care services.
Why now: New UK immigration restrictions directly affect the care sector's workforce and the tens of thousands of workers from the two African nations involved.
