[MigrantCause] What are the main causes of discrimination in the UK and international labour market?

 

What are the main causes of  discrimination in the UK and international labour market?

·      How does the white man dominate  international job market

·      How does  discrimination against black people  happens in UK and international labour market  including in the UN Agencies and international organisations?

 

1) Communications skills

 

It is all about English language skills.  All  UK and international jobs adverts highlight  the requirements of excellent communications skills in English ( verbal and writing), even where these skills are not needed.   Most  job applicants from the South will struggle to meet this requirement even if they have  very good academic skills. If English is your second language it is impossible to compete with a British job seeker in  UK or international jobs. You will fail the interview because of your foreign English accent. At the interview panel , the interviewers ( white in most cases  with native English accent)  will expected  you to speak in British accent. British people do not tolerate people who speak with a foreign accent. They are not even pleased that you are trying to speak their language.

 

2) Your name:

 

if your name is difficult to read or it does not sound or look the white people's name, your chance of getting the job is 70% reduced.

 

Conclusion.

 

English language which believed to be an international language, but spoken approximately in the South,  has become a tool for discrimination in the UK and international labour market, and other international opportunities.

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK Comments: Mr John Major  is right about migrants in the UK and worldwide. Most of  migrants  leave their countries as asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lack of freedom and human rights abuses. Other leave their countries just to look for new opportunities. Arriving in the new countries such as UK , they work hard to survive. In most cases they have left their families and relatives. They have to share their earnings with the people their left behind and to support the education of their relatives.  They live in disadvantageous situations because they  are not  in the same situation like the British people who  have families that  help them to set up a business for example, pay their education, help them to raise funding or to get a bank loan, to inherit houses and other assets. They face institutional discrimination because most of the...
