Why UK Government jobs are open to Foreign workers?
Wondering why UK would open job opportunities for global workers? Well, the answer is simple.
In certain developing countries a government job has the following benefits: –
- Highly paid
- Provides job security
- Private organizations are paying less
- Has elaborate monetary benefits
- Offers multiple non-monetary benefits like healthcare, traveling, living, messing, etc
- Hence, local talent opts for government jobs.
Whereas in countries like USA & UK government jobs are not very popular because:-
- Not highly paid
- Job security is not a major issue in any sector
- Private organizations are paying more
- Monetary benefits are more in the private sector
- These countries provide a social security floor, which means they’re already getting the non-monetary benefits that government jobs in some developing countries offer.
- Hence, local talent does not opt for government jobs and these jobs are less appealing in developing countries.
Note: The patient weight list as of January 2024 was more than 7 million cases this is because one of their government organization that is NHS (National Health Service) is facing an acute worker shortage
