I am looking to understand the statistics behind how a region is
classified as high supply or low supply under the new changes to essential
skills visas: the sources of the data used, the theoretical rationale and
the process.

 

To this end, under the OIA, please provide:

 

- any final briefings, notes, memos or reports that explain the process
classifying a region into high or low supply.

 

- documentation on the process/method/model and data sources used to
classify a region as high or low supply.

 

Please note that the days from 25 December 2019 to 15 January 2020
