British Nationals Choose Australia over UK for a Lower Cost of Living: an Example for Indian Migrants

British nationals are saving their hard earned money by moving to Australia or New Zealand is the new ‘talk of the world’. As it has been found out by the Foreign Currency Broker- Foreign Currency Direct that the cost of living in Australia and New Zealand is upto a third lower than in the UK. The lower cost of living attracts many of the British nationals who are rather living a hard life in the UK to look for new venues in Australia to settle down in order to live an equally good life with lower cost of living.

It seems that not only the lower cost of living but the continental weather condition also attracts the people. In Australia, the cool temperatures and outdoor activities attract the people from all around the globe to experience its exotic beaches and picnics. The Foreign Currency Direct’s research showed that people living in Australia and New Zealand enjoy the same standard of life with relatively very low cost of living than those immigrants who are living in other top destinations in the world like France or Spain.

As it is a known fact that the cost of living in New Zealand is about three times cheaper than in the UK with an exceptionally beautiful weather & environment, which promotes a healthy living. Because of this fact many UK nationals are getting attracted in due course to settle down in Australia or NZ. This instance could also be used on many Indians who wish to move abroad for a better living. For them the great life style of Australia and plenty of opportunities attract them to choose it as their immigration destination. Australia offers a great many opportunities and promises a great future for people who are skilled and wish to commit to the country as its future inhabitants, the benefits of which are many, as provided by the Australian government.[*]

SINGAPORE TO PROMOTE FOREIGN IMMIGRATION

It is a known fact that the population of Singapore is dropping with the passage of time, the reasons for which are many- young Singaporeans are either immigrating outside their country and many of the young couples are avoiding having babies. “We are short 14,000 babies. We have to bring in new immigrants. If our population shrinks, Singapore will face a very serious problem, “said the Prime Minister of Singapore Mr. Lee Hsien Loong. Lee further elaborated that in order to fill in the spaces in the population, he would be promoting new immigration from foreign countries. He also appealed that the young Singaporeans who have gone outside Singapore should return back and young couples should have more babies.

Prime Minister Lee said a Citizenship and Population Unit would be set up as part of his office to attract foreigners, and the nation would seek "all kinds'' of talent. He urged that Singapore should welcome new immigrants and should not hesitate hiring a foreign employee instead of a native one. "To grow and flourish, we must welcome those who can help us to reach our goals. That is the way to build Singapore for Singaporeans,” said Mr. Lee. Singapore has implemented several measures to promote procreation, including tax breaks for families, cash bonuses, state-subsidized child care - even a state-sponsored dating agency. Many western nations face a very similar problem, where the birth rate is not high enough to compensate for both the death rate and the increasing average age of the population. Countries such as Australia and Canada have been aggressively recruiting immigrants for nearly a decade now to compensate. A number of Central and Western European States such as Germany, Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries are also beginning to face the same shortfalls.
This would be a great opportunity for many Indians who wish to immigrate outside India to settle down in search of a better life. Since India has a lot many skilled workers and the unemployment rate is also high, it would be a great opportunity to take benefit from. It is because of this reason only many Indian students choose to study abroad instead of India to later settle down outside India.

Despite Recession, Immigration is to remain high in The UK

According to a report, Britain’s recession will have little long-term impact on immigration levels and the number of arrivals will remain high.
The report which was commissioned by the Government's Equalities and Human Rights Commission says social and family links to the UK, a desire to learn English and economic slowdown in home countries will deter immigrants from leaving. It also suggests the flow of immigrants into the UK will pick up as the economy improves. The report is expected to add to the debate about the impact of the recession on migration amid ministerial claims that it will lead to a drop in the recent record numbers of arrivals to Britain.
The number of international students in London has soared by nearly 3,000 in a year. Study London, which represents the capital's universities, said its figures show London is the world's most popular destination to study. So as it is expected that many a students will choose London as their destination to study in 2009, the results would be still unexpected and the impact of recession would be seen only with the passage of time.

IMPACT OF RECESSION AND STUDY ABROAD VIA INDIA

While the students are planning for their destination abroad at this time of the year, recession hit countries are waiting to see foreign students enrol in their colleges or universities. This simply indicates that the institutes are waiting to see the impact of recession in educational fields. Unlike last year the youngsters going abroad on student visa was touching the sky in countries like USA, UK, Canada and Australia. Till last year the number of students going to Australia was around 97,000 from India and UK also issued around 30,000 student visas. India became leading nation from where the maximum number of students enrolled in colleges and universities with a record of 94,563 students in USA during 07-08.

But after recession, the Australians are experiencing a slump in the study abroad enrolment this year with around 14.9% decrease in US cases between October 2008 to January 2009. However, as it has been observed that it is too early to predict whether there will be an overall fall this year for foreign student’s applications. As it is observed that because of recession there has been a cut in the scholarships and financial aids provided to foreign students which makes it less alluring for them to apply. However, the whole picture whether recession is behind the study abroad plans of students would be clearer between April and July this year when it is the peak time of students applying for visas.

Canadian Minister for Immigration, Jason Kenney who was recently in India, acknowledging the impact on students said, “We will be actively promoting our colleges in India. Among the advantages that Canada offers to Indian students is the fact that they get on the fast track to the job market and permanent residence. Joining the campaign to allure more foreign students, Britain has also launched a new visa category for students called the Tier 4 for foreign students. “Most education agents feel that the new system will be well received. The one year Masters programme in the UK is value for money and helps Indian students enter the job market quickly. There are scholarships under the UK-India Education & Research initiative also makes the UK an attractive destination”, said Sally Goggin, first secretary Education, at the British Council.

Whereas other countries like New Zealand and France are hoping that the impact of recession would be positive other than negative on education market. The point system of NZ gives extra points to students who graduate from their universities to get the permanent residentship as well as jobs. Whereas France has now started a system where students can stay back for 6 more months and look for a job. Bigger countries like Australia are trying to attract Indian students by launching expensive campaigns work 3.5 million $. “Australia is still an attractive campus destination and not one of the countries which are worst hit by recession. The financial sector is still stable and still provide employment to people,” was said by Anthony Pollock, Chief executive and managing director of IDP education Pvt Ltd
