Working Overseas – 18-45 Year Olds Find A Way To Escape UK Austerity
I came across a very interesting snippet in today’s newspaper. Apparently, a new survey concludes that if you want to beat the austerity of the UK – Get out! Emigrate. Leave. Vanish. Scoot. Go and work overseas. Well duh! Did we really need a survey to tell us that?
Apparently a recent survey of 1,000 consumers in the 18-45 age bracket indicated that more than 50% are thinking of moving abroad to escape the UK austerity measures. Up to 89% think that there has been a decline in the job market over the last few years, with 54% having felt the blows personally.
Well now – lucky them.
Firstly, this particular age bracket have age on their side. Many countries do have an age ceiling for immigrants, as well as their own aging population to accommodate, so don’t want to be catering for any more!
Secondly, 18-45 year olds have more opportunities to retrain since health and strength have not diminished (generally speaking).
Thirdly, they are at a time in life where it is much easier to pull up their roots and plant them somewhere else. Life is still an adventure and there is a strong pull and determination to go and experience it – even if it means working overseas.
So, what is the answer if you fall between the 18-45 work bracket and want to escape the austerity of the UK?
Skill shortages do exist – particularly in the mining and natural resources industry in Australia – and one of the best options that I can see is to save like crazy, invest in yourself and your own future, and learn a new skillset – fast. If you have the finances already available, why not consider taking your training in Australia (or the country of your choice)? It can be easier to get a job afterwards and you are already in place to find your new job.
Western Australia recently let it be known that it will require half a million overseas workers in the next decade to forestall future skills gaps. As a country, Australia is peddling like crazy to keep up with fulfilling natural resource export demands, provide training opportunities for her own citizens, as well as hiring the workforce required to keep the country going. You may just find something to suit you!
What is the answer if you fall outside of the 18-45 work bracket and you want to escape the UK austerity ? It’s a double whammy if you happen to slide between the Baby Boomer margins. You now know that your pension pot will probably not tide you over and by the time you found this important piece of information out, it’s too late to emigrate!
Fortunately there are some exceptions to the under 45 age ceiling in Australia for certain in- demand jobs, so go here to find out more in an article I have written. Don’t forget to contact us at JobContinental if you think we can help you out.
