"The determinants of successful migrant labor market integration"

Flavia Flossati from the Institute for Political Science at the University of Vienna, gives a talk on "The determinants of successful migrant labor market integration" in the Bremen Social Sciences Lecture Series. The lecture takes place at at the University of Bremen, Unicom-Building 9 (BIGSSS Conference Room 7.3280), at 14:15hrs on November 07th, 2018.

Abstract:

Western countries have long struggled to achieve a successful social and economic integration of immigrants. This challenge has further increased against the backdrop of recent immigration trends. In this context, labor market integration is a pivotal stepping-stone that grants opportunities for immigrants and their families allowing them to take part in the social and economic life of their host country. Flavia's presentation will provide an overview over which policies are most promising in enabling immigrants’ labor market access, based on her research at, inter alia, the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration (IDHEAP) in Lausanne.
