Keep migration controlled but responsive to genuine labour shortages

Invest in domestic skills first while retaining evidence-led international recruitment for critical shortages.

Reconstruction: use current labour-market evidence to control migration. Employers and government should invest in domestic participation and skills, while shortage mechanisms allow international recruitment where persistent needs cannot be met at home.

Caveat: the source establishes principles rather than a cap or occupational list and is older.
