This series of seminars will examine core dimensions of international labor migration and the economic/labor market integration of migrants. The seminars will, in addition to an overview of labor migration, address (a) the "ethnic enclave economy", (b) integration, assimilation and multiculturalism in labor markets, and (c) public policy and precarious labor. International labor migration is one of the hottest political topics in Europe and North America. We will look at why and how international labor migration takes place, and why it is such a sensitive political issue in most developed countries. "Transnational communities" have in recent decades gained importance in shaping transborder labor markets, providing migrants with institutions for navigating international markets and opportunities in the home country and in the country of destination. How do such communities reflect globalization? |
