New Delhi: Labour shortages are widespread across Europe, and Ireland is no

exception. The country has an unemployment rate of 4.2%, which is lower than
the EU average of 6.8%. However, this low unemployment rate is also a sign of
a labour shortage, as businesses are struggling to find workers to fill open
positions. Labour shortage on one hand is a curse for Europe but at the same
time, a boon for countries like India which has a huge surplus of labour. Let's
see in this article how this

Labour Shortage In Ireland

The labour shortage in Ireland is being driven by a number of factors,
including the aging population, the decline of the agricultural sector, and the
growth of the tech sector. The aging population means that there are fewer
people of working age, while the decline of the agricultural sector has led to
job losses in rural areas. The growth of the tech sector has created new jobs,
but it has also made it more difficult for businesses to find workers with the
skills they need. Therefore, Ireland is looking for foreign workers to fill in these
jobs.

As a result of this ruling, all employers who attempt to use this visa scheme to
hire workers will need to make sure that the minimum pay exceeds 30,000.
The wait times were cut, which was another significant development. The
authorization granted under the Atypical Working Scheme is now valid for 90
days.
How Will It Impact Indians
India is expected to have a surplus of 245.3 million skilled workers by 2030.
This is due to a number of factors, including the country's large population of
working-age citizens and government programs that are designed to boost
workers' skills, a study by Korn Ferry said.

The report also claimed India's median age is forecast to be slightly over 31 by
2030, indicating it has a large supply of inhabitants who are of working age. It
also noted that India is expected to pass China to become the world's most
populous country in the next six years.

All these points indicate a simple thing, India is witnessing a massive labour
surplus and Ireland opening the doors for foreign workers is a very good news
for the Indian workers who are currently working in difficult conditions in
Middleeast.
