Canada has become the most popular country for job seekers
The pandemic has changed the alignment of countries: leaders in terms of attractiveness to migrant workers. The United States has lost the title of best employer for foreigners.
Canada became the most attractive country for migrant workers in 2020, pushing the United States from first to second, with Australia completing the top three. About this, on Wednesday March 3, RIA Novosti writes with reference to a joint study by BCG and The Network “Analysis of the global market of talent – physical and virtual”, which is available to the agency.
This is the third time BCG and Network has conducted an analysis of the global talent market: physical and virtual. In 2014 and 2018, the US was the leader in terms of attractiveness to migrant workers, with Canada ranked third. Second place went to Great Britain in 2014 and Germany in 2018.
“The pandemic has had a significant impact on people’s attitudes toward working abroad,” the study authors say.
So, migrants began to be attracted to countries that were able to resist the coronavirus better than others. As a result, Canada, Australia and Japan (became sixth) improved their positions in the ranking, and the newcomers to the top 10 were two countries with a relatively favorable epidemiological situation: Singapore and New Zealand.
At the same time, the situation of the virus in Europe, on the contrary, arouses suspicions among potential migrants. Germany and France fell two lines in the ranking (to fourth and ninth places, respectively), while Italy and Spain fell from the top ten entirely.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has added a new variable, forcing people to be more cautious about international relocation,” said Rainer Strack, BCG Senior Partner and co-author of the report.
Similarly, the researchers note that respondents’ attitudes towards cities most famous as a workplace depend on success in fighting the coronavirus in the countries where they are located.
“New York, Barcelona, Rome and Madrid are now much less attractive to survey participants than in 2018. By contrast, Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have gained popularity because these cities have not been relatively affected. for the pandemic.. “also noted by the authors.
Recall that in the last three years, the number of job openings in the world has tripled from a four-day workweek. Their number increased to 62 times 10,000.
