Story: Microsoft warns of 'acute' UK skills shortage

The problem is not a shortage of skilled people It is more a shortage of companies willing to employ people of, shall we say more mature years.
Employers forget these people have experienced a great number of changes within the industry and had adapted.
Now many have moved to other industries out of necessity (to pay for food and shelter mostly).
We need a change in attitude rather than law to sort this one out.
a PS to that
When I was working as a contractor a few years ago I was once told by an agency that they could get 5 Indians on a plane with work permits for same money I was earning per hour on my contract.
