Abstract

Leaving the EU would free Britain from what they called German dominance and would bring considerable political and economic benefits. But Brexit opponents have warned that leaving the European Union is akin to an act of self-mutilation, making Britain smaller, poorer, and more isolated. To test this effect, this paper analyzes the unemployment rate in the UK around the Brexit policy. This paper uses a difference-in-differences model to analyze the impact of Brexit on the employment of EU workers in the UK, and then analyze the current situation in the UK. The data for this article comes from the Office for National Statistics - Labour Force Survey. The sampling time is from the fourth quarter of 1999 to the fourth quarter of 2019, a total of twenty years of data. The article finds that the policy has a significant impact on the number of EU nationals working in the UK. The UK will also make some policy changes in the future to pursue a win-win situation.
