Better Work for Immigrants: Tackling Joblessness and Stunted Progression in the European Union (MPI)
This meeting will discuss the dynamics by which migrants get stuck in low-skilled work, and the role of training and employment services in helping them progress in their occupations.
What
This event concludes an MPI-ILO research project, funded by the European Commission, that examines employment prospects of foreign-born workers and the effectiveness of integration and workforce development policies in helping foreign-born workers overcome barriers and move up into middle-skilled positions in six case study countries: the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Questions to be addressed include :
- How can policymakers improve access to skills and language training for those in temporary or low-skilled work?
- Is it realistic to expect non-economic migrants who arrive with low levels of language and literacy to get jobs, let alone access middle-skilled work?
- How can governments make the case for labor market integration policies in a difficult political and financial context?
