It seems that immigration levels in UK would not fall to that extent as it was expected for 2011. This has been projected by the Institute of Public Policy Research which is a leading think-tank.

As per the IPPR, there are various factors which would result in the constant level of immigration. These reasons include the EU nations which have not been added as part of the proposed cap. This clearly implies that the total migration would be somewhere around 200,000 in 2011.

It has also warned when it comes to bringing about quick measures so as to cater to the promise made to bring down the total level of migration by 2015. As per IPPR, this would simply damage the economy of the nation.

According to IPPR Director, Nick Pearce, all the ministers should be very careful to cater to the expectations of the public. This cap might impact the UK economy negatively. The IPPR head has supported the government’s aim to slash down the country’s immigration level, but at the same time he thinks that certain plans regarding the goal should be put in place by ensuring long-term, as well as sustainable alterations to the UK’s economic and labor market framework.

As per the Migration Review of 2010/11 by the Institute of Public Policy Research, even if the UK is all set to cut down the number of migrant workers (capped at 21,700) coming from outside EU from April onwards, it is expected that the measure would not slash the nations’ overall immigration by more than 3 percent.
