Under the bespoke scheme, those foreign drivers will be able to work in the UK from now until the end of March.
Additionally, some 4,700 visas intended for foreign food haulage drivers will be extended by two months, lasting from late October to the end of February.

haulageはイギリス語。イギリスファッション好きな日本の街中ではよく見かけるbespokeですが。この使われ方はOxfordもCollinsも載っていなかくて、Cambridgeに載ってました。Cambridgeは新し目の語を探せます。ちなみにこの使われ方でのtailoredも同様にCambridgeのみ。

この記事のグラフを見ると根本原因は低賃金。若者が就かない職業になり高齢化。そこにきてBrexitで外国人の雇用ができなくなり。でもってCovid。
IR35 off-payroll working ruleとありますが、日本でも自営運送業者はすでに増えているようですね。

先進国最下位の低賃金国の日本も、いずれ同じようなことが起こりそうです。
