Why this statement is wrong?

United Kingdom has a number of outsiders who are working for different firms and they contribute well to the economy of the state. As by recent analyses the number of Indians and Pakistanis along with other nationals have increased to a high number. Which makes up about 14% of the total population of the UK, which is obviously increased to some effected numbers and they are keeping in coming into the country.

Reason for high number of foreigners in UK?

There are large number of advanced and developed industrial regions inside the UK, which brings more opportunity for the talented individuals around the globe to show there metal. As these workers provide various opportunities for the country to do advancement in the various fields of science and technology. Eventually, it will benefit the workers too, providing them more incentives compared to the industries in the Asian region.
