Strategic thinking on equality and mobilityMIPEX: policy indicators and a joined-up approach to policy evaluation in Europe • 27 February 2008 • Prague
Presentation by Thomas HUDDLESTON
Removing legal barriers to the labour market integration of legally-resident third-country nationals – areas of strength & weakness for EU Member States
• 27 February 2009 • Prague • Ministerial conference “Strengthening EU competitiveness – potential of migrants on the labour market”
Presentation by Thomas HUDDLESTON, MPG
Rising unemployment, including immigrants, in “dis”integrating labour markets Generally rises faster for immigrants as workers in with most vulnerable profiles & in worst-hit sectors All categories of legal immigrants more likely to stay
Most determinate factors: • Socio-economic conditions in countries of origin—also hit by crisis
• Return on past investments in immigration & integration
• See better potential in country of residence’s labour market
Immigrant workers: problems of temporary ‘de-skilling,’ but overall more adaptive to labour market changes: greater geographical & occupational mobility
Recession raises general fears of employer discrimination
