…Urgent immigration policies needed – T&T Economist
By Abena Rockcliffe-Campbell
Money alone cannot develop a country; human resource is always needed. Therefore, in addition to the possible revenue that Guyana stands to get from oil, the country would need more people in order to develop.
This fact is highlighted in the comments made by Trinidadian Economist, Dr. Roger Hosein, as he spoke about Guyana’s potential in the fact of a possible economic boom.
Dr. Hosein said that in order to facilitate the development of the oil industry and the support infrastructure in the other sector of the Guyanese economy, the country will need a significant inflow of foreign workers.
He said that while foreign workers are needed, the Guyana government has to be wary not to attract or allow the wrong set of foreigners to enter the country to live.
Dr. Hosein said that without proper immigration policies, “what could happen is that people without the right type of skills can flow into Guyana and in so doing become a burden on the state servicing sector.”
Dr. Hosein continued, “The policy makers would want to act urgently to put various measures in place to set the Guyanese economy on the right path to ensure that it is ready for the pending economic boom.”
