Emigrate To The UK – There Are Lots Of Reasons To Do So!
Quality of life is a concept that people all over the world relentlessly aim to improve over the course of their lives. In some situations, it is very difficult for a country’s citizens to achieve that higher level without a certain degree of luck and a huge amount of hard work. This can be due to the large class gaps in some cultures and also, the poor economic situation of their country. The United Kingdom offers immigrants an opportunity to improve their quality of life in many ways, some of which have been recorded below.
Social Reasons – The United Kingdom is a multi-cultural society. There are a huge range of cultures living and working in the U.K, and there is no segregation or racial tension between cultures and nationalities. Britain also enjoys a relatively low crime rate compared to other European countries.
Employment – In today’s difficult climate, unemployment rates have increased dramatically worldwide. However, Britain’s unemployment rates have always been relatively stable, increasing a small amount over the last few years to 7.8% today. This 7.8% can be compared to Americas unemployment rate of 9.6% and, more importantly, the Euro zone average unemployment rate of 10.1%. What that means is that it is easier to find a job in the U.K than most other places in Europe. Combine this with the 35 hour, typical working week, statutory paid maternity/paternity leave, high average salaries and 12 public holidays per year makes all together a great opportunity for potential immigrants.
Economy – The Great British Pound Sterling has always been one of the largest economies in the world. Currently the Pound Sterling is the 4th most traded currency on the foreign stock markets behind the U.S Dollar, the Japanese Yen and the Euro.
Education – Due to the high levels of education in government run state schools, 90% of children in the U.K obtain free schooling, with the remaining 10% choosing to go to private institutions. British Universities are some of the most internationally recognized educational establishments on the planet. Cambridge University has been ranked with Harvard University in America as the best universities in the world.
Health & Welfare – From emergency care to complicated surgeries, the National Health Service has brought 60 years of free, life saving healthcare to every citizen in the U.K. Children and registered pensioners are also able to obtain free dental work and eye care with the NHS. In terms of welfare, Great Britain offers its citizens a huge range of welfare monetary benefits in the forms of unemployment benefits, disability benefits, and even public housing.
To conclude, the reasons above are alone enough to convince you that it is not a question of why, more a question of when.
