Reforming immigration for a post-Brexit reality

What impact could lower levels of immigration in the UK following Brexit have on the country’s economy? Lisa Laird and Otto Ilveskero wrote that the UK faced a challenge in retaining a controlled flow of both high and lower-skilled workers to fill gaps in the domestic workforce. They argued that reforming the present Visa Points Based System would allow Britain to retain international talent passing through its universities, but that the UK could not afford to overlook the needs of its jobs market when it came to international workers who compensated for a lack of home-grown professionals in particular sectors.
